Yeah I thought the smooth BAD would cause the snare to be too fast. And the loop to hang too loosely/be able to swing too much.
I anchor around the split link arm as well... mostly because anchoring to the eye can be a pain the the butt. I have nice big end loops in my anchor cable, and just slip an end loop over the top ring and split link before attaching the snare. Once the snare is on, the anchor cable can't slip off.


I don't see why that wouldn't work either. The lock wouldn't even need good/any teeth.
Are you not using wire as a support to hang the snare from? Your comment about being able to swing too freely has me wondering. I set them like a regular snare where it must travel uphill before it fires. I've got a few hundred coyotes under my belt but I'm far from an expert.
