Do you dye and wax/dip your drags + chain or do you let them be as is?
Trying to figure out what I want to do for next year.
Thank you!

I dye mine. Think it helps a bit with rust protection. I don't have enough pot to wax mine

I always dyed and waxed my drag & chain because my pots are big enough to hold my drags with the chain wrapped around it sort of a ball/spool. I would suggest that is you don’t have a pot big enough, just dye only. As we speak I’m trying the new Ambush dye/wax combo on my beaver traps and not only does it look & coat good. I can’t smell it at all. Not saying the coyotes can’t smell it though!!! Food for thought!

I dye and wax.

Just extra layers of protection on expensive equipment.
