I just got done making 50 drags. Mostly using cotton spindles . I use them for the tines. And 3/4 rebar build the frame out of the rebar. I started out with one you are using. I bought a 110-volt wire welder . Now i make everything on mine. I run a minimum of 9ft 10 inches chain. I run them on public land. The trap i use for public is mostly Duke #3 offset 4 coil traps. If u do a little work to Duke traps. They are fur catchers. The next thing i am going to do is mine. Base plate & laminate the jaws. And put a PIT pans on them.
Hey that is what tough fun is all about. I'm a drag advocate. I prefer a 3/8 drag with at least 9' of #2/0 chain. I put the flag in a link so I can check from a distance. Really nice looking set. Thanks for taking time to make this great video.
3:35 If that drag had an offset in the tines, the drag marks would be more pronounced, making it easier to trail the coyote, in case the drag doesn't hook up on something immediately, or isn't pre-hooked.
I know what it's like dealing with froze ground from last 2 years. I will be using some drags this season the hardest parts getting the stakes or anchors out of the froze ground

I never did any good here in Kansas in these conditions. I noticed on the coldest days mink were about the only thing moving
The older you get the more you appreciate drags. That driving and pulling stakes will sap you. Nice just to pick it up when pulling.
Amen! That’s why I’m going to drags

1:09 if you can get your trap in the ground you can put an anchor.

Great to see some winter great lakes forest trapping. Most videos are just trapping ag country. Keep them coming.
Have you seen the sabertooth drags? I made up 20 coyote rigs with those on shock absorbers and chain. Kind of feel like it may be overkill
How many coyotes have you ever caught in your life?
How using a tire as a drag in a tire set?
