What brand is everyone using and how do you get em back out when you pull sets? I'm tired of pounding and carrying rebar so I plan to switch before next season.

Super Stakes on chain and I pull them out with a Bulldog stake-puller.

Wolf fang on cable. I make my own cables. Some I yank out by hand,others a pick ax, and some I cut and go

been using bullet type for years now, a T- bar with a hook to remove from ground.

Got tired of rebar too and I was double staking all my predator sets.
I just use berk hd style now on cable and the ends and cable are cheap. When I’m pulling up the line it’s usually dead of winter and ground is frozen solid so I just cut the cables and go.
I buy the berks in bulk and my cable and double ferrules. Really inexpensive and I don’t ever worry about retrieving them unless the ground is still soft.
Best move I ever made. Don’t even need a special driver just a pointed rebar stake. Super cheap staking method.
Holds every coyote around here just fine.

Wolf fang 12 in cable. I detach the trap and leave them in the ground. Tried pulling and half the time the cables break.

Super fins here, they hold well enough that we will break a few #2 chains while pulling. I use the No Bs puller.

Wolf fang with about 14" of 3/16 cable and 4-5 links of twist link chain

Pull them with a 4' piece of pipe with a hook welded on (need to build or buy a stake puller)
If they don;t come out with medium effort, cut the cable and go as you are either going to ruin the cable where it attaches to the anchor or break it off anyway

I think I have berkshires to anchor DPs, a lot smaller anchor

I use Berkshires HD, no need for a special driver you can use a 3/8 reread stake.

Same here. And if you buy them in bulk and make your own cable, they're practically disposable.

And Scott, what exactly is a reread stake? Do you make it yourself? Pictures?

I started with Bershires decades ago but quickly went to homemade pogos for my ground of clay, sand, & loam. Because of the low cost and great performance I quickly became a “clip & go” canine trapper. I don’t know if the components are as cheap today as they once were when I bought in volume

I make my own from 1/2 inch black pipe. Pull them with a pick like nail with claw hammer. If I was starting out new now I would probably go with Pogo's system. It does make a difference what kind of ground your dealing with.

Mac, any pictures of yours?

Berkshires. You can pull them by hand if you drill drill down next to them with an auger in s cordless drill

I use mostly wolf-fang on 15” cable. Pull them with a NoBS puller. Works much better and faster than auger next to them to pull. I break the cable on about 1 in 5.

I have a staking system I came up with that works good for me.no hammer needed and no driver.easy and fast to put in and eaven faster to take out.and they are re usable and will last a lifetime probably.im on my 4th year using them and will never go back to rebar or cables.showed them to a friend of mine and he has been using them since the beginning of our season and really likes them as well.i have posted pictorial of the system on here before but nobody took an interest in them.

I think sometimes people look at my profile and se I only joined last year and have only 39 posts but I have been on here a long time and been fur trapping close to 30 years and live market trapping for the past 5 years.seems every time I post something the thread stops.im not a top trapper by any means but have been hard headed enough to stick with this game for quite a while.i just try to share some of my experiences with others on here that I have learned over the years through trial and error.

Bdaniel,
If I remember right you had some type of lag bolt and chain system.
Didn't think it would work in my soil/rock conditions or frozen solid ground.
Remember everyone has different conditions like soil,rock,weather etc...
Not one system is fit for all applications, just because someone doesn't comment on what you wrote doesn't mean no one took interest.
I remember taking notice and figured it wasn't for me.
Thank you for participating and your incite

I use wolf fangs every soft often. Otherwise is double stake when I can drive close to my set location. I do have a couple of spots where I made my own anchor where I dug them in during spring and packed them so they stay there. In the fall I come in and clip the trap on and bed.

This is what most of my ground looks like
