Fox Snares

[billbroon 9]

Been snaring a few foxs but the snares are now a bit out of shape, whats the best way to re-shape them and get a good loop back on them. Thanks

To be Honest they are as cheap as chips (especially if you make your own) so once they become unservicable just dispose of them and start afresh with a new wire. Sometimes you can get quite a few settings from the one wire, but more often than not it is a lot less hassle to use a new wire rather than wasting time and effort re-tensioning an old one.

Just use new ones. Once they're misshapen, kinked, twisted and it's difficult to reshape a good loop I just get rid of them.

Thanks guys. How easy is it to start making my own, is it worth the hasel.

Cut the reusable bits off them but by the time you buy the bits and add postage to here your quicker buying them off woodga

Dunno mate I don't make my own. Would like to have a go though. Anyone know where to find good info on snare making?

 

Must be cheaper to make your own?
