I think we sometimes have a tendency to blame other things too quickly if our line breaks, braid frays, or we lose plugs/rigs. Meanwhile the culprit could be as simple as a cracked guide, which will be discovered with regular maintenance. Tropics, thanks for pointing out this basic often neglected part of any trip. :thumbsup:
