MisterG Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 So, new Flash Mag broke after about an hour using it. The plastic bit on the end came off and the wire rolled up all the way inside. Had to dismantle the mag, only thing I could find to tie on to the cable was one of my daughter's beads. At least she had a blue one! I will of course paint it a more tacticool black, once I locate my enamel black paint. I've already tidied up the end and I also melted the end of the bead to make it less likely to come off Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted May 10, 2018 Supporters Share Posted May 10, 2018 see this is what happens when you tug on it too vigorously you end up having to use beads to keep it stiff i wouldnt worry about the colour, i highly doubt anyone will notice or care, hell i ran a pink hairband as a grenade pin retainer for months before anyone noticed.

mattaddiction Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Most of mine have done that too... Small cable tie, some super glue and a bit of patience is my current fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterG Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 in my case I think the cable itself was fine, it didn't break. It seems to be plastic coated wire. It was knotted at the end to hold the plastic pull knob, and it just came undone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulda said thinner! 5 hours ago, snuff said: I think that's what it is,I'm no angler..TBH how strong does it need to be.. If it's like mine it's a thiner steel wire coated in plastic, which normally strips itself after a while. Mine did the exact same so replaced it with mmy fishing braid ad nylon line will coil up after a few uses as it's not as supple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
