this is very useful information for me That is great. I really enjoy helping out where I can. I never thought I'd be helping fellow trappers in Russia but I am glad to do it.

I will never use slim locks for coyote again. They aren’t very reliable for a quick kill. Usually still alive and have bad jelly head. The set is usually tore up good too. Micro lock with compression spring works good for me Completely opposite here. I hate micros with a passion on coyotes. Course we cant use dispatch springs.

Yes, the use of a dispatch spring is ABSOLUTLY NECESSARY to make the micro lock an effective dispatch lock.
The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Re the above I always used a 3/32 size micro lock on 5/64th 1X19 cable. A very effective dispatch set up in my experience when used in a timber situation and tied off High.

Couple things, if you are trying to be less lethal because you are close to domestics or town, don’t snare there! That and three day checks and snaring comes with complications that others have already addressed. Either way seems like a hard pass, unless there are reasons that you have not shared with us yet. Poor strategies utilizing snares have led to many states altering or outlawing snaring. Howdy,
I am in a spot where I need to use a less aggressive style of snare than I normally run. My normal snares are 1/16th 1x19 senneker cams with kill springs and triggers. I was thinking about going with either slim locks or micro locks and going up to 5/64 cable. I am going up in cable just because of the chance of a live coyote on a 3 day check. Any body have any experience running these for coyotes. Seems like I heard tell of people not using 1x19 with these locks and saying 7x7 made them close quicker or am I just mis remembering like normal?
Thanks guys I'd like to help but I can't figure out what you are hoping to accomplish. There are two styles of snares essentially, snares designed to kill whatever they catch ASAP, and snares aka cable restraints that are designed to hold the animals alive until the trapper gets there to release or dispatch it. Both designs rely on the placement of the snare ie. entanglement or not, and snare length as well as anchoring.

Kosio, I believe this is what you are looking for....... Marty uses his own Senneker spring and his trigger that you posted. The Bridger spring works the same way as Marty's spring. https://youtu.be/r_so7B8lEwgI also see that this video was posted earlier in this thread by Wolfdog91.
