Well OK, but how did you breath on the bottom? There are definitely a lot of times that I would have been forced to turn loose of the gun if the reel had jammed.

About month ago the same guy had an Omer 100 reel torn off of his gun. He didn't lose the gun, but it was still very expensive with the loss of a slip tip, shaft, and of course the reel. He is sensitive about doing that again.
