best snares

[ellir0305 9]

i have had some sample snares from both geordie (breakaways) and holdaway and very good they were too but i was wondering from others experience who mkes the best (not wanting to start a battle of the greats here) and what would be the cost of 50 straight 22.5 inch pro bunny snares with or without tealers as i can make them easy enough unless the effort outweighs the cost.

 

cheers guys and no arguments please lol

I don't know what Holdaways snares are like, but I've seen Geordies snares and they are spot on.

Why not make your own tealers and wires?

i think i could make wires pretty easy but the wire and eyelts seemed quite expensive

Geordie makes good snares as does Woodga. Once you have had a rabbit in them they are well battered, yet still catch another 7 or 8 before they're done, so as long as they are six strand and spun reasonably tightly, they're all ok PS for £60 or so you could have enough gear for a lifetime.

i have wire for tealers already but i have bitten the proverbial bullet and forked out £24 of my xmas coinage to get enough wire and eyes for 100 snares and i know i can spin them from experience messing around with rat snares if all goes to plan i should be in snares for a good while.
