Have you ever used Marty's Stingers ?? What did/do you think of them ? And is he a member here ?

No, I have never used them. I am not too inclined to try them right now as camlocs with 50lb. compression springs are doing fine for me in an open area, plus I do most of my snaring in direct entanglement. I also adjust my snares different and am not sure how the spring would sit. I am curious about this as the pics that were shown of the new spring have the spring on top of the lock.. not below where the others are. I have no doubt they work, just that what I got going now works good for me. Buy some, give 'em a try!

So what do you think of my setup ? My snares are 48" long, so that when I make my loop, the snare is fully open and the tie wire is varied in length to adjust for the distance to the trail. Bear in mind, all of my baits are in bush, snaring the trails coming in, entanglement situations. I know Marty didn't think too much of it !  Most look like this, please be brutally frank !!  |

In entanglement that's almost as good as it gets. It's quick and efficient. The support wire is also the anchor wire and only takes a minute to set up. I use a similar method, but use 1 strand of #11 or #9 annealed with a swivel twisted on the end. I like the swivelling action as it "may" help prevent a twist or chew out some day. Swivels are good because it helps keep the cable from binding and seperating... making it less susceptible to chewing. I couldn't tell you overall statistics on the merits of using a swivel in direct entanglement like that... as I realize the swivel most likely will be ineffective in about a minute after target starts to wrap.
Looks like a good set up to me! Wire almost looks like it's galvanized.
Thanks for the pic... cool!
