Check out these dargs, while I don't use many drags at all I had decided I needed to make some, well I had the raw Matireals , but wasn't happy with what I was making so I gave some of the stuff to a friend of mine thats pretty sharp and inovative, told him what I wanted and left him alone. Here's what he came up with, there 2 piece, weigh 4 lbs each and you can put 25 of them in a 5 gallon bucket( you can't lift it though) anyway here they are. .....B.....

That looks like one serious drag. Good luck with them. Ed

WOW, some heavy iron there, I don't think a fox would move that very far.

I was thinking along the lines of batmans grapple.

With about 4 feet of chain you could bury them uncoupled, but connected, until a catch is made. They should come together as the catch pulls on the chain. Might save a little digging that way. Tapering the hookup end of the long tube to make them come together when pulled might help.

I have to tell you when my friend first told me of the design he had in mind I really didn't know, but after seeing them I was impressed. The deal was that all of the material came off our road jobs that we work on and was going to be scraped, so there really no cost except the time and welding. I was planning on taking these out west with me for the rocky areas where regular staking is hard to do. The nice thing I liked about these was the amount of them you could fit in a small space, as space is always a consideration when traveling far away.....B.....

How about I send you one or two and let you look at them and see what you think. I'm not gonna get into this whole producing drags, traps, stakes thing. Just a little bait now and than. But I will send you 1 or 2 of these as I think they have promise.
The guy that made them is pretty sharp. I'm thinking if I he could work in a machine shop, I waould ask him to build a better Coyote trap!! The drags were his first try, bet he could really blow us away on trap design!!.....B.....
