Why y'all use cable leads? Why y'all use chain? Pros and cons. Just kinda curious.

I just don't trust the dinky chain leads on my bulldogs, though I'm sure they work just fine. I just tend to stick to the cable leads. Easy on my hands.

Lol that's why I like the tree leads. Don't hurt my hands. I use the chain/nylon leads on bulldog and RCD because my bone head bay dogs have nearly chewed thru the cables. Then all the plastic coating starts to jab ur hands.

I cant stand cable leads they hurt when a dog pops the end of one seen them flat come loose also. I make most all my leads and have pulled some heavy weight with them that no cable lead I have seen would handle. I use basiacly a chain small but strong with a swivle snap and wither braided mule tape or nylon strap with another snap at the end of that. Hand sew the strap with 50 pound spider wire fishin line and it aint going to break. I have some out of the 24 inch horse leads that I cut the snap off then reweld a swivle snap on the end that work very well. Again nylon or mule tape handle.

I make my own leather and chain tree leads . I just cant stand the feel of cable around my wrist . but I still use leather collars as well [ make my own ] old habits die hard lol . a young dog may chew up and eat a leather lead and I will just put a new piece of leather on it . but when they chew up a cable lead you can do no more than throw it in the scrap pile .

I don't keep many leads around but I like making my own with stainless chain and nylon with a few brass rivets...

I just use 1/4 to 1/2" braided nylon rope a small ring a link or to of chain (for swings) and make my own. I have made single, double, and triple drop leads with no problems. Only have to change out the nylon rope or a snap or two every so often. I have pulled some heavy stuff with these leads as well. I never cared for cable due to the stiffness and feel of them. Plus like mentioned before once they start peeling or breaking always have them sticking you. If you start having problems with the rope just cut it off an retie a new piece.
