Schmitt Enterprises Inc.

This is an item I first seen used to hold bait doors closed on cage traps. They also work great for connecting traps to drowning rods or cables. You can open them with a gloved hand and close them on a link of chain, at whatever length you choose. On my own trapline, I’ve trapped 100’s of raccoons with this setup (on drowning rigs) and have not had any open up on me. The connecting eye swivels also. Length is 2-3/4 inches. We have located a manufacturer, so we can offer these at a reasonable price.

Made of 3/16” steel, jaw opens 1/4” and the working load limit is up to 620 pounds.

Stronger than S-hooks. Can be added to stake end of trap or snare with no tools or welding.

Best connecting link anywhere.

Fits 1/2" stakes. 7/32 x 1-1/4". Use two of these lap links hooked for double cross staking or one for a single stake.

Approximately 3" Long.  5/16" Thick.

Heavy Duty.

Perfect for the trapper or snareman.

Dozens of uses!
