I'm replacing my Bridgers in my mink boxes & planning to build a new otter cage to fit them. Didn't know if there were anything that needed done to them. The Bridgers needed the dog filed just a little so they would work right. Got the yesterday but didn't have time to play with them. Looks like I'll have to add my own chain to the 330s but that's no biggie.

I would include a couple of swivels with which ever as otter can twist up a mess pretty quick.

I'll be adding my own with plenty of swivels for the otter.

I use swivels on nylon fishing line that is much softer than wire rope and they work.

There was a neat tutorial on trapperman that showed how to make a jig to twist #9 wire for cable swivels. I got one....somewhere. Attachment Deleted
