Guys, is there a better way to attach your tags other than thru the swivel at the end,,
I really don’t like putting it there because of the swivel action can cause it to get torn off easily.
Any suggestions??

Don't attach it to the swivel. Crimp or roll it onto the swivel with your fingers.

I just fold the tag around the snare cable just above the swivel. Fold it 3 or 4 times and it won't come off.

I install them on the bottom wire while making the snare or attach them with electric motor wire near the bottom of the snare

I run the cable thru the hole in tag when making the snare. I crimp a small aluminum loop stop about an inch above the swivel that creates a place on the cable just for the tag.....this also keeps the tag at the swivel end so it don't interfere with the lock. I then just fold it up so it don't dangle.

The tags with 2 holes work well as the cable can be ran thru both holes. No folding of tag necessary.

I put a tag on all cable extensions too.....as a backup.

I used to put the snare cable, and the no.9 wire together, wrap the tag around both and form my whammy.
Have to have both, so both in one tag.
