Karl; I'm far from an expert in the matter - I grew up learning to catch a few with the usual, shop bought crap. Then I started fashioning my own in that likeness and still caught a few.

 

But Mr Waters has shown us the light and the likes of 'Woodga' and 'Peg & Gun' are his star pupils. Buy the proper kit from those lads. And / or buy Woodga's DVD and learn how to Make and Set snares properly

Aye ditch is right. These look ok, but for one thing I know that these are 8 strand, that's a handicap right away, they are also quite expensive. PM geordie he'll make you some with six strand 22 1/2" wires on them, that's what the pros on here use. Thanks to their advice that's what I now use too and they're the business. Read Glenn and Woodga's articles, they know their stuff mate.

Well spotted micky, I wondered if anyone would spot the deliberate mistake.

A 7 1/2" by 5 1/2" loop only needs 20 1/2"of snare anyway micky, and I don't suppose an inch and a half divided by pi would matter to a bunny. I used to catch them in the shop bought shit, though admittedly fewer..

22 1/2 inch , six strand snare is more than enough,for pegged snares , who the hell needs an 8 strand snare people who make and sell these don,t know much about snaring, they are usually salesmen with their mind on nothing except profit , ive tried 24 inch nooses also the loop is just to big and misses occur thats why i do not use them , i make all my nooses 22 1/2 long and use them for pegged snares and also fences , because all fences are different and some times the wires can be five mil. in diameter and 6 inches apart , therefore the usual shop bought shit is absolutely no use , people have been indoctrinated for decades by armchair amateurs , who have never ever killed big numbers of rabbits or even seen a big kill of a mornings snared rabbits , smugly telling everybody to snare with shitty small nooses and low to the ground , also the bullseye snare is another load of shit , a two inch bullsh#t snare does not even go past a large rabbits eye sockets, so therefore its mathematically impossible to catch a rabbit arund the front of the ears , i snare rats with 3 inch nooses , at 3 inches of the ground , when are people going to wake up to the fact that tiny snare loops set low are not viable. we have been plagued with this donkey mentality from so called experts for far to long , thats the way my father did it they will say , well ive got news for them their fathers could not snare worth a shit either . and thats the whole truth of the matter.
