3/32 galvanized 7x7 has a 900lb breaking strength you can get 1,000 feet for about 50 bucks. Make a loop on one end and do like Coosa1 said I put an extra swivel on mine just to keep it from getting a kink
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

this 3/32 7×7 crimped with a small loop to attach to trap chain and a large loop to fit trap thru after u wrap it around the tree. you can get 250ft of cable, crimp ferrules, crimper and a wire cutter on amazon for around $50-$60 you only need about 6ft of cable per trap. I dont waste time with extra swivels the Duke DP traps have 3 already built onto the chain.

I dont cover mine fish and cooking oil doesnt wash out very easy I'll glob some fresh bait in it if it's been a few days i think the golf ball would be more of a visual attractant coons like to eat eggs and a golf ball looks alot like an egg

I normally use big headed bolts and a cordless drill. Simply screw the bolt into the side of a tree or large root. Haven't lost one that way yet.
