I think there is a new term for these in the trapping world to get away from the word "Whammie". I think they are just snare supports for the world to ease the mind of non trappers.
Anyhow... they also provide the snare to set. Snug, not to tight tubing on the support wire helps the snare work properly, head goes through and the snare lock is allowed to fall down the loop and tighten before the snare falls off of the support wire. Helps make better catches. You don't want the snare to fall off of the support wire to soon you want the lock to fall down your loop first.
You need good tubing that does not get to hard and stays flexible in the cold.
