No I don't have a picture, but it looks simply like a piece of heavy gauge wire about 6-8 inches long with a loop in the middle. It goes on your trap chain and is used as a quick connect.

Thank you Wolf, I found them. They're called "Quick Connectors a.k.a. Toggles"

Now another question for all, is this simply just some 9 gauge wire that's twisted?

They are rod. Wire would be too soft.

Isn’t that wire really flimsy?

I make mine from 3/8ths by 14 gauge flat stock. Make them about 3" long drill a hole In the center slip a cable through the hole a crush on a cable stop.

I dont use mine to hold coyotes or beaver. Mine are used when i hook up a rr plate to a coon/mink trap. Run the extension cable through both holes of the plate.

Make your own quick connectors for elevated marten/fisher BG traps out of used snare cable and old stiff cloths hanger wire:

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
