I tie a simple knot in mine, the cable is junk once you catch anyway, so as Seldom said, mark it with a sharpie, twist a loop, thread the end back thru and pull it tight, done. I operate cranes for a living and while I would not lift bridge beams that way I'd hold every coyote ever with a knotted cable. Crazy white folks, I swear.

If cable is like regular rope, tieing a knot reduces the strength of the cable by half so if avoid that

Cake was a very unappreciated band. Tie the stop, set your gear... show us what you cable, all good!

Just go to a bait shop and buy a small bag of split shot and smash it on with some channel locks. I wouldn't tie a knot in them, it's hard enough to get them them loaded and hanging perfectly without adding a kink in the cable. Or go to the hardware store and buy a couple feet of 16ga wire and cut 1/2 inch pieces off it and put them in a vice and bend them in a V like the pic above, then smash them on with channel locks.

Can you show us how you tie a knot in it with the snare/cr already assembled?

Most likely it will slip, but at least it shows intent of following the regulation, a small hog ring is too big for cable, still think a small cage clip crimped on is easiest and cheapest of the purchased option without having to make anything, but the trapping or tie wire is a viable option . should be able to find them in any ag supply store, or any place they sell rabbit supplies...

Seeing as she is an archer and might have some on hand, perhaps a nock point would be sufficient…?

Since these are one and done temp uses anyway, I can think of several options. A rubber band, cut in half, then double looped overhand knot, pull the ends tight? A drop of marine epoxy? A drop of silicone caulk? Wet the cable and apply a drop of gorilla glue......wet so if foams up. A dab of great stuff?

A bigger fix would be to replace the universal twist on wire whammy. I've got a couple dozen of those that will not twist on to any wire I've tried. Not #9, not #12. It's as if they repel them. If forced to use one today, I'd hit it with a couple wraps of electrical tape.
