- I was not advocating against reactor bars. I recommend them!
I was just pondering about the interaction between shredtech lines
and reactor bars. I've never heard anybody else complain about
broken lines with a reactor bar.

- Generally, I just buy the webbing bits that attach to the boom.
I buy the tubing at Home Depot and the line at West Marine. Lot's
cheaper and if you replace the tubing often enough the line will
last forever. I have one set of lines that's at least 8 years old.
