I ask because the end of the cable just goes straight through the end of the lock, no bend. They work, but wonder if some do something to them after they get them to make them smoother.
Do you use the snares as they come or make a bend in the cable at the lock yourself?
I’ve used bullet locks as they’re advertised. However, I only build them with a loop end now. It makes a very smooth, great snare, but it takes a little practice to build them this way
I also use the loop at the lock. The loop aids in a smooth movement on any of the loads ( standard, overload, and double load) and also reduces the drag on the no-load. (tear drop)
