For the CTX hunters. Im using the CTX now full time. Im a long time Explorer user so the transition was pretty easy. There are things i like and dont like. One of them being pushing that baby thru the water. Anyway, my question is about the cable that attaches to the coil. What i found with the Xcal is a NEED to tape the cable close to the coil leaving enough play to allow movement. Why.....because i you dont you can feel the cable vibrate when moved faster or in swift water. Thats like bending a wired repeatedly. We all know what that will do in time. Well on the CTX with the cable running into the shaft there is like 6 inches or so sticking out and NOTHING except the two connectors. With the coiled cable ive got to believe it pulls out some and vibrates also. Taping it would stop the cable movement. For those NOT using that added protector over the cable, stop the constant rubbing in and out of the cable, stop the vibrations, and you wouldnt get nearly the water displacement this drag causes.
