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.

People will have a hard time believing this but if you get a label maker you can print them, peel the back off, and wrap it so it hits the snare in the middle and sticky back it to itself completely when you fold it over. Its a plastic automotive tear proof waterproof temp proof material. The better you get it to fold in the center and stick fully onto itself the better it works. Like you may do one line of text so its longer instead of two lines so you get more label material / contact area. Some people just use their license number. Prob varies by state. I think I did my snares on the anchor end around that piece of hardware not the wire. I think I did it both ways actually but on the anchor end they cant get to it to chew so much I like to think.
