I've got cable on most of mine. Never had a problem with it.

Best tie off wire is soft annealled wire.
Double 14 ga or single 11 ga for small bodygrips and snares,and 9 ga for big snares for wolf.
All set lethal of course.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I like chain on my 330's. Most people don't like it, but to me wire is used to hold the muffler up on your PU. Other than snare supports I don't use wire trapping.

Cable rots out from the inside.

I only use it on 330s when I need an extension to the chain on the trap. I use one of my snare extensions. But if I had my druthers I would just put extra chain on the trap. Got 30' feet of chain I need to cut up and put on what I got whenever I find my lost roundtuit.

I use Chain with a swivel and those D clamps. Never have lost one but most of my trapping is on Private land.


God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

I didn’t wire one of mine good enough this year…….5 weeks later he was floating where I could find him. Not a very nice smell when trying to get him out of the trap. Tie off or stake well is my advice.

Quit using wire probably 30 years ago on bodygrips. 1/8” American cable with 2 swivels.
I saw an idiot on their beaver trapping not anchoring 330’s.
Not good.

Old used snares work just fine for me with a 30 inch rerod stake, not anchoring is just s dumb move it makes no sense. It’s not uncommon for a flavor of the month idea to become popular with newer trappers.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I use cable or chain, and I am switching to chain as I like how it goes into my pickup, I still will carry cable extension as they’re usually behind the seat, I gave up on wire when I bought a roll that was supposed to be soft and they did a poor job as some was hard and brittle and some was soft.
