Old blue excalibur has cracked coil cable. I am looking to replace coil.I mainly hunt in the surf .I've read some about the SEf coil and Wot .I would like to hear recommendations.
Thanks
Greg
Since I posted this question I have recoated entire cable with heatshrink tubeing again. My first coating attempt I only went as far as the standoff or strain relief at the coil. This is where the latest crack was found. This time I unscrewed the relief recoated the entire cable with heatshrink. The reliefs had to be drilled out a little to be able to slide over thicker cable.
I might allso add that I put entire coil and cable in a warm over for several hours to dry any moisture. I tested the unit in the surf yesterday and it works fine for now.
But I still would like to hear from others that hunt mainly in the surf what is your coil preference. My excal is the old blue 1000. The original 10 inch coil works great but will eventually need replaced.
What do you use in the surf?
Thanks
