This is my first year trapping coyotes and I must say it has been very enjoyable and rewarding. I've trapped 5 coyotes 1 fox and 3 coons this year. I just odered a whole bunch of snares from the snareshop and they all come with a dispatch spring. Trying find something on the net to show me how to use the dispatch spring. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THEM YET so I'm trying to get a head start. Anyone have an idea of how mto use the spring or where I can find an illustration of some sort of how to use them..
 
Step 8: Dispatch Spring – A dispatch spring is made to apply extra pressure on the lock. They are not legal in all states, so be familar with your state's regulations. These work the best in entanglement situations.

Regular Dispatch Spring: These come in either 25# or 50# which is a measure of how much pressure is applied on the lock. The spring is placed behind the lock on the cable.

Canadian Dispatch Spring/Stinger Spring: This spring looks like a tiny conibear spring. It is placed behind the lock on the cable. It was made famous by Marty Senneker, from Canada.

alot of the questions i believe you have can be answered at the snareshop's Choosing The Right Snare secttion, you can look at pictures of snares with dispatch spring there too
 
all the dispatch spring does is apply more pressure on the cable helping it to dispatch the coyote, a snare with out will not choke a coyote or any other animal unless its tangles on something.
 
Like Jeff says, they speed up the process. I used snares without them for a while, then, made snares with the 50# dispatch spring? Really changed things for the good. Had a few coons(and coyote) who never made a catch circle; just ran to the end of the cable and expired right there.
