I do trap some areas that are really sandy. And the wold fangs are flat, to which I suppose would be better. I would prefer super stakes because they don’t bend and are good season after season without needing any work in offseason. But just a bit concerned anchoring them in sand

Usually got 2 seasons out of them before they would bend too much from extraction unless I hit a rock. Ya can't miss fur if yur traps are out somewhere. Or so I've been told.

I attach about 6" of chain to the trap end of the cable when I make them. I fold a bunch in half pulling them up, those get tossed in a pile and when I have a little time they get some time on a piece of RR track and a massage with a hammer to get them back in shape. Second use I attach to cable (I will replace cable if I even think 1 strand is broken) directly (leave chain off if new cable) and the cable gets cut and anchor left in ground. I do not trust them after being bent up twice If I wanted to reuse anchor with less headache I would be using chained super stakes I have a doz regular ones but any future purchases will be the ones with retrieval gizmo on them

I ended up breaking off 12 or 15 on #3 premium chain and destroying my puller. I promised myself never again and ment it! I run wolf fangs on 13 inch’s of 3/32 7x7 cable and cut and go. Life is a lot better now! Wolf fangs hold great in sandy soil. Usually drive them in about 15 inches. Last edited by Sharkhunter; Yesterday at 11:14 PM.
