Started using berkshires about 8 years ago. The first few years they held up fine. Starting about the 4th hear the new berkshires started breaking and bending very badly. Almost as if they had switched the type of metal to a cheaper version. I put up with it for another year and then I finally had enough and completely switched over to wolf fang earth anchors. No comparison IMO. Wolf fangs hold up much better and longer, hold everything, and can be used multiple times.
I do trap professionally from November to February so im harder on equipment than the average trapper.
