Well...the problem is less of one, at least until the next paycheck. Fishhunter, i know what u meant by the good paying job, right now there is a large carp with a bright white arrow hangin from him, somewhere in the Susquehanna River right now, the string broke again, go figure i finally stick one this time. It would seem that the shrink wrap either didnt stop the clip from tearing, or that it wasn't the culprit at all. I'm beginning to think it perhaps is just dry-rotted line. I will hopefully have a picture up soon, i have to track donw the camera. Thanks again for the continuing help. +Phil
