I like 5/64 7x7 cable with a kill lock for snares. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Then, ride with a veteran trapper for a few days....you'll learn a bunch and save a lot of time. You can go back up to the forum top page and click on "Links" it lists all of the states trapping organizations.... click on Alabama Trappers Org and you'll see the organizations leaders click on the president for info....hope this helps.
