It's not for me but it should do ok. Don't stop trying or looking for better ways, learning. It's what makes us all better trappers.
For me, I don't think its a good idea to have the swiveling for coyotes, it'll lead to chew outs. Some states you have to have swivels though, but most of those states wouldn't allow a 3/4" rod sticking up to potentially tangle on.
Just a couple unsolicited tips,,,, I don't like those support collars at all, they don't hold tight enough to the support wire. A real metal wammy being the best IMO followed by tubing of some sort as a viable option. Also a small loop vs. a sharp bend in the end of your snare will lead to smoother, faster closing snares.
I use 1/2" rebar like Yes Sir mentioned but with my set up they are designed to kill the coyotes ASAP to reduce chances of them chewing out.

Wondering what is point for 42" of 3/4" rod if it's not for entanglement, wouldn't a trap stake serve the same purpose with your support collar?

I appreciate the creativity. But it's a lot of extra weight to carry, takes up room, and I can just wrap a wire around a stick that I find on the ground just as easily.

Love that collective photo of your catch DTB. Keep up the hard work and have a good time. Look forward to seeing your future catches. 20 yotes on 7 acres is impressive

DonnyTrapperBoy, I like the fact that you're thinking about different/better ways to do things......and you're sharing it.
This is more than many trappers will do as you can see from some of the posts above. Some even sound jealous.
Keep after 'em!!!

Looks like you would need to carry an Allen key to tighten the hex screws against the support wire and rod. For that reason I’m out.

Better than wrapping that 9 ga wire around the rebar. And, if you dont have a welder..... I also like that spinning attachment on the rebar to fasten the snare to.

Drilling a hole in rebar or welding something to rebar to stop the spin of wire would be simpler and just as effective and if u don't have a welder u couldn't make that setup anyway. A lap link ,split ring or actual swivel would do the same as building that spinning attachment. 3/4 rod is overkill for the anchor and unless using for intanglement all the extra rod sticking up is not needed. But I think u know this SW and ur just handing out participation trophies.

Of course we have Allen tools. Anyone with experience with Allen keys and set screws knows what a pain they can be. Think of all the trappers with fat fingers that can’t bend over and wiggle a little screw loose. Stripped screws, lost screws, forget the Allen key at home, lose the Allen key at a set or the walk in. Your whole operation is over because you rely on a tool now. A sophisticated tool that needs to have the correct shape to function. Can’t jam a stick in there and make it work.
What happens when you tighten the screw to the rebar then the temps drop over night and the screw loosens and that little ring slides down the rod and now your snare isn’t set right. Coyote caught by the shoulder is what happens.
But, of course this will work. Until it doesn’t. Forever I’ll never understand why Americans are using #9 wire.

20 on 7 acres in Kentucky is impressive! So is snaring 5 of them using your invention.
I have made all sorts of trapping gizmos which were all useless and worthless. I sure would not have put any on a public viewing. Keep at it and you may invent the next equivalent to the dog proof trap.

Hey at least y’all can snare, lol. Guess if coyotes would swim we could snare them also. Actually ...No, we can't. Law says beaver only with snares.

I just like to see new trappers thinking. Me as well. For someone not having to carry allot of gear a long ways, I can see the beauty in that. If Craig OG would have came out with that in a catalog years ago, he'd have made good $$ from his (followeres)
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

In Georgia, if you catch any critter, other than a beaver, in a snare, it must be released. If the critter is dead, it cannot be kept.
And the snare must be set in the water of within 10ft of water.

Remember that comment comes from someone who carries a propane torch for snaring. Sounds like you really got a problem with the op and his methods. Please explain what is so wrong with his way of doing things.
