| Below you will find a table which shows the most common cable diameters used on various animals.

This chart was developed from both personal experience and other trapper's recommendations. Everyone will experience different situations. What doesn't work for some might work for others. You should be willing to experiment on your own to achieve mastership. | |||||||||||||
