No, I run a #9 swivel on one end of the extension and tie end loop of snare onto #9 wire swivel which is a rigid loop. I hate tying cable to cable. Yes, everybody is running 3/32" for extensions, except some wolf people running 1/8" for extensions. When extensions get all hinky, I throw them out.

5 foot total length before forming loop. Is a minor thing.
And yes Dave, good point, If I'm going to tie around large trees, I'm going to add length. Normally if I'm in a large diameter tree environment, there are other options, but not always. I don't want to end up with 2' of extension to tie with.
