Even cats get that cable all kinked up on the first catch.
Climbing into rimrock with a five gallon bucket that weighs 25 pounds builds character

To add weight I like to wire a rock to the chain about halfway to the drag, one that weighs 15 or 20 pounds. I e even used a rock like that at the end of the chain with no actual drag.

I would use chain cable is ganna cost you a long walk or 5 It does not take much after its kinked or twisted to fail Usualy when you dont want it to either
Try to avoid the cheaper foreign Chinese chain that some places still sale its as bad as useless as the people who think they are cats or dogs.
Chased down coyotes in the sheep with that stuff because i needed more equipment at the time I was perdy broke then and its a risk i should of avoided and in that country you caught her once and she was there or you had a long hot summer
100 or do bucks woulda saved me a very long hot summer
Usually the hd#2 chain is good If you got lions weld the j hooks just in case
Sometimes things still happen i just try to avoid those days
