How often replacing wires?


Recommended Posts

I havnt been snaring long but it seems as my snares get older,the less succesful I'm becoming. I still shape the wire to the basic shape thats reccomended but I find the wire does become more and more untidy looking as its used.

Is is best to have the wires as new so the curve in the wire is perfect? Does what the wire looks like have an effect on the rabbits? I suppose a perfect curve fits in more with the surroundings rather than something that just look like an old bit of wire.

If they are the cheap "green cord type" then I would honestly throw them. and get yourself some proper ones from one of the boys on here. It sounds like the cheap ones you have, if they are coming unwound, not that they are ever wound properly to start with. In short get some proper snares, they will last well and catch nicely as the action is smoother and quicker.
