Drags and Grapples and Shock Springs
Drags and Grapples
- In some sets, traps can be attached to drags. Drags let the trapped animal move a short distance. A heavy tree limb is a common type of drag.
- Grapples also let the trapped animal move a short distance. Unlike drags, however, these devices do not use weight to limit the animal’s movement. They are metal devices that dig into the ground or catch on vegetation. This limits the animal’s movement.

Shock Springs
- These devices can be used with chains, stakes, drags, or grapples.
- They help hold animals, such as coyotes, that tend to lunge when trapped. They also keep the animal from injuring itself.
