Bruce - I've bought a lot of winch line over a long time span from Memphis Net and Twine. There have been a couple times over the years that I've gotten a bad batch of line. It's rare, but it does happen. You can usually spot a bad piece of line if you look and feel close. The bad line I have gotten has had spots in it that had obviously been hot - you could feel and see the line had been melted a little bit here and there. If you can see this in a new spool of line call the company and let them know, they will probably take care of you. And be sure to check your equipment - a bad turnaround will do the same thing. I've also managed to string the turnaround upside down, that will eat line in a hurry. happy trails - Rob G
From: "Bruce Hobbs" [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Myself and our club have purchased 270-290# nylon braided line from Memphis Twine previously. We have experienced line breaks quite often on a smooth field within 3-6 months of the new line installation. This is without Icons and Sharons doing banzai launches! When I purchased my Rahm winch new, the line Mr. Rahm sent with the winch did not break more than once or twice within the first two years and was used more often then than now. I have heard that line available in some of the Scandinavian countries is more durable and lasts longer..possibly refined and improved from exposure to the extensive fishing industry that many of these countries have? If any of you know of a line that is better. reasonable priced..and available..I'd love to hear about it. JoJo..that is your neck of the woods if you are reading this. TIA!!
