Try Craft and Art shops on the Net. That's where I get mine.

remember and not buy that picture wire sh#t , why don,t you just buy 20 pro. snares from geordie , and a hundred eyelets . if you buy brass wire now it will cost a fortune , plus vat plus postage .

instead of playing around at snaring use proper snares , and get to it , and do it properly , to many on this site are kid on merchants , always wanting to know where to get the stuff , and when told where to get proper snares , they don,t want tp pay for them, then they go and buy cheap sh#te and wonder how they can,t get big kills of rabbits , remember we are dealing with animals here therefore the humane factor should always come first .

Well said, but whats wrong with people wanting wire so they canj make their own snares mate ?

Butch

there is no problem about asking for wire , but for the humane factor use the proper rabbit snare wire , good snaremen on this site have repeatedly told certain individuals where to purchase quality rabbit snarewire , these individuals phone up and waste time asking knowing fullwell that they do not want to pay for good snares or wire , they would rather spend money other ways , but continually ask again and again where to get rabbit snarewire , once again for the thousands time don,t purchase picture wire , and some of these other thin cheap wire,s to try and snare with , use the proper stuff , 0.457 brass wire, make good six strand snares , and practice with them . cheap crap wire isn,t as pliable and snaps more readily , and the last thing thats needed is rabbits running around with broken snares on their necks, therefore try and work in a professional and more humane manner, rather than it being a cost cutting cheap excersize,

I prefer use rig material for pike fishing 40lb or cable from bike gears so it isn't shity crap but always not as good as your snares.
