I can't comment on those.. my limited experience with drags is hotspots I find in january and ground is so hard I bend 1/2" rebar trying to stake
My drags are bent from 3/8" round stock.
And where I trap there is no way these drags won't hook up. I use 6' of chain on my drags when I use them
Either one of the drags you listed would get it done
I see PCS has one that the best I can describe rotates like a plane prop and is aluminum..
I think most could be built at home for pennies to what they want..
If one had the talent

One of the best cat trappers I knew in AZ used a piece of greasewood as a drag he even held a lion once. I just use the old yote drags and the main thing is a LOT of chain depending on the area. MY cat country is way thick and I still use 12-15 feet of chain on every trap, a cheap investment for a caught cat.

I'm going to run 10' of #3 chain with 3 swivels

No use in putting swivels by the drag itself that and the chain will be wrapped tight in the brush most likely I just use a S-hook there!

Another trick is place your drag away from the chain pile to keep it from snagging the chain and being pulled backwards. Try to keep them separate as much as you can. I often hook my drags when I set so I know it's hooked and the critter is there and the set is saved because they tangle up away from the original location.

Another trick is to Pre-hook the drag on a sapling as I was taught several yrs ago...WHEN TRAPPING LOGGING RDS or timbered areas...which is mainly my turf. This: 1) Keeps the catch scent near the set, adding attraction to a remake. 2) Allows you to use 5-6 ft of chain....then if a cat or coon is in, it can't climb up 9 ft...complicating dispatch. a) less weight to haul and chain to buy. 3) Eliminates needing a heavy drag 4) Keeps catch close...cuz.. Who has time to look for a catch?
