i have a question about finding a certain type of snare pole. I just happened to catch an episode of Brady Barr's show the other night and he was using a snare pole with a large 'Y' on the end that was very effective in getting large crocs relatively safely.

I have been searching for a similiar device but haven't found anything past the usual snare poles. Any thoughts on where to look?

Thanks.

Do you remember which episode? Ill try to see if i can find it online. It may be something he had custom made as well. While my snare is meant for smaller animals, it is def a lot safer than the ones made for dogs and cats with a wider band. But it too is custom.

While I did not see that episode, I have seen a few poles that fit your description. They were always custom made.

I´ve seen the pole you are talking about... as far as I know its cutom made, and thing he only use to place the rope in crocs jaws, not to handle them...

Hi, sorry not on here often hope this isn't too late.

I talked to Brady about those poles and he had them custom made. Must be nice to have Nat GEO R&D Dept at your disposal.
