Drowners and stakes

[soggybtmboys]

Question for you guys. Do you fellas dye your drowner cables and do you dye your stakes. I am not sure if I should or not, getting ready for some finishing touches here to be ready to set some steel on Friday Nov 2. Thanx in advance.

I will say that dying or dipping drowner cables isn't nessecary. I dip mine, but the only reason is because I set quite a few road culverts and I don't want that shiny cable standing out like a sore thumb for some passer by to see. After a year of use your cable will take on a dull grey color and you shouldn't have that worry either. The tops of my stakes are dipped only because that is how I dip my traps.
