I hate Ambergs, always have! They get the job done on the high neck captures and with entanglement, but otherwise just don't have what it takes!

I switched over to magnum springs last winter and for my snaring environment I would never think of going back to regular springs, it was a vast improvement.

Ambergs work great when tied high and SOLID to a tree stem when they form about a 45 degree angle from the coyote and the tie point, no entanglement needed. I have had many stretched out DOA without entanglement.

Well that is most excellent!!! I think we'll all be able to see how really great they are when they get tested here in Canada.
