Spade Snare Anchors

Spade anchors are designed to securely fasten snares into the ground. On firm ground, they can be much more effective than traditional pegs or stakes. Once correctly installed they are very difficult to pull out. Our spade anchors are made from cut steel with an 18" length of 2mm wire cable.

The cable is fitted with a ferruled loop to attach snares using d-shackles.  To use place the anchor on the driver for spade anchors, then drive it into the soil as deep as you wish. Remove the driver leaving the anchor in the ground. Once the snare is pulled tight, the anchor will pivot underground and lodge itself firmly into the soil. The harder it is pulled,the more firmly wedged it will become. The spade anchor can be re-used. Simply hold on to the end of the wire and drive a spade down along its length, working the soil loose. With a certain amount of digging, the anchor will come away, ready for re-use. The shape of the spade anchor makes it ideal for use on hard ground. In some situations, it will not be suitable for use on moderately wet or peaty soils.
