Here are some pix of how I make my beaver drownin rods. I just started makin these this spring but I am sold, no waights to drag into the creek and back out, no tangled and kinked up cables, just dead beavers at the end of the rod were no bears or coyotes can get at them and people cant see them iether, handy if trappin near roads..
this is how I make the top of the rod, just use a regular trappin stake to hold it in place.
this is the bottom end, I just wield on another nut to keep the drownin lock from slidin right off the end.
I just used a piece of flat bar and bent it in my bench vice for a lock. drill a hole big enough for the rod on the short end and another one to fit a quick link on the long end. These are realy cheep and eazy to biuld and work great. I made mine 10 feet long just cause the rebare came in 20 foot lenghts. All I do is stab the bottom end into the mud and put a trap stake threw the nut on top, Attach the trap to the quick link. Set and bed the trap, make caster mound behind the trap on the bank.
