Re: Cobia Adventure

The normal cause of cable tip failure is lack of maintennce. Changing the cable regularly and a thorough fresh water soak after the dive makes them very unlikely too fail. Of course I replace mine with cable from kinked shooting lines off my riding rig, so the cable is about 30% heavier than even what comes on the JBL rock tip. Deburring the tip cable socket a bit helps too.

Nice fish in the video.
