i would have to take a guess at this one and say yes aslong as its rather tough to snap. if i remember right 26 gauge wire is rather thin. I use 20 gauge wire 0.8mm and finding it a little to thick for anything smaller than a fox but 24 gauge is the lowest i would probably go.
ive been taught though that the thinner the wire the better as long as it can take the strain. The U.S and British army both carry 24 gauge wire in their survival kits for multiple purposes, snaring being one of them.

12 guage wire israted for 20 amps and 10 guage is rated for thirty amps! 12 gauge is what is required, as it is rated for 20 amps. 10 gauge is rated for 30 and will be more then enough. Oversizing wire in your case isn't necessary. The thicker 10 gauge wire is harder to work with and will more then likely cost more.
How do you wire 15amp 230v woodworking machine. 10agw or 12agw wire and type of outlet. Into a 15amp or 20amp breaker?
A 20 amp circuit with #12 gauge wire will work in any event but if the nameplate recommends a 15 amp circuit then #14 gauge wire on a 15 amp circuit is sufficient. In either case you will have a double pole breaker and your equipment may not require a neutral. Always run a grounding conductor.

A #6 RW 90 copper wire is rated at 65 amps. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
