I've never wired a trap on to anything ever. Seems like a lot of extra work to me.
The closest I come to that is cable tethers on my 330 beaver traps, for open water trapping. And it's a tether, it does not hold the trap in place, it allows the catch to reach deep water so that it is underwater when it dies and thus not subject to scavengers, mice, and fur thieves.

All one sees when a catch is made is a loop of cable around a stake or stump. And of course that is not easy to spot. There is no other evidence that there was ever a trap at that location. Meanwhile your catch is safe in deep water at the end of that cable.

So you walk the whole line up in the bush? then snares would be a better option for you. What seems like more work to you is less work to me.
