Don't knock it unless you've tried it!

I've had my MZE for 2.5 years now, and put thousands of shots through it without one single problem. Right after I bought it, I went ahead and ordered a couple of extra hook arms, because I figured wear might be a problem with them being made of plastic and all. Well, I've still got those two hook arms in my equipment box, waiting on the original to wear out. Now, don't get me wrong. I do keep the hook arm covered in moleskin, which I'm sure is the main reason for the lack of wear. But, I've also snagged the hook on bushes and briars countless times, and it's always withstood the abuse.
