Having experienced three jams of the lifting bar in the CB pipe over 16 years due to CB ground touches, I believe we should replace the lifting bar with a continuous cable from tackle to board. I am also generally aware of Tom Young's experience with Christmas (though I can't find his article).
Has anyone else replaced the CB lifting bar? What advice can you give me? Why did Alden design it this way to begin with? Can we leave the lifting bar in place and just replace the shackle (which is what jams in the pipe)? Any advice would be most welcome!
