Holdaway 2 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Looking pretty good fishfish. I have only made the double tealers myself using a home made jig. I should think you did have problems bending the 2.5 mil galv too! I made about a hundred of them (snares and tealers) and have only got two out! Two rabbits so far, both to one snare, but then there are hardly any rabbits about here, there are more birds of prey, magpies, jays and squirrels than rabbits! Keep it up and hope you fill your wires. H Quote Link to post
