    Canadian Ace is a brand of beer!

    The snare set-up is simply called a "figure 4 snare"
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    That's interesting, I don't know of any Canadians who use more than a loop on the animal's trail like klkak said. All I ever used. I thought Canadian Ace referred to our military pilots (they all have to be aces cause if they get shot down they have to pay for the plane themselves )
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    If set up correctly it's a pretty reliable snare, i've used it to catch tons of squirrels and rabbits
