On a drag twin loop is awesome because it snags the bark off any tree or shrub and basically blazes a trail for ya. if it is in good shape I wouldn't be too scared- it is a least as tough as an eyelet that hasn't been tacked or jaw end that wasn't bubbled. ï¿½Whatï¿½s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.ï¿½ Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

A lot of the newer traps come with link chain but I’d run that twin loop until you get bored and want to modify those traps with better swivels and then put new chain on Rebuilding john deere and international/farmall carburetors
