Time to put my old school Bantams back into service alongside my 40+ yr old ABU's. Old, not nearly as smooth as all the new-fangeld stuff, but a reliable and steady workhorses that never fail when something big is pulling on the other end.


I'm curious...you must have some idea why you are experiencing the failures. What do you think is the weak link? Not being at all critical, just don't want to have a known defect ruin my day(s).
