Yes another snare question

Well i tried about 30 billion search queries and although they are all informative i never found what i was looking for...how do i prepare brand new snares for the trapline? Do i need to descent them or dye them? I don't think it would be a good idea to set out brand new snares on the line without some pre-line preparation, any ideas?

Thanks
 
I make mine out of snares out of cable and boil them in water with baking soda with a few fir needles thrown in, then try not to touch them w bare hands
 
That new wire likely has a lite coat of oil from the factory.At the very least,you'll want to boil them and then hang'em outside to weather and dull abit.If you want to dye them as well,any trapping supply co. would have trap dye,logwood crystals,speedblak etc.
