thats the one thing that has never happen to me .out of all the reels Ive been through I ve never snapped a chain
don't ask how or why
Thanks BC and AggieWB for relating your experience. It's just as important to hear from those who haven't broken chains as those who have. I am somewhat surprised at the low response to this thread - either fellow CS millers are not interested or it's a less significant issue than I first thought or both. Some sort of a poll might produce some interesting/useful results. I wonder if chain/CS companies have ever bother to compile this sort of information to help assess risk etc.
