    Marty had the info on the steel dogbones. I got some to try out . Had to grind up the brass fittings to try to make them fit. More trouble than its worth imho

    Marty broke the nubs off a steel dogbone at Nate's. The rocks were pretty brutal. While definitely better than nylon they're not indestructible and positively noisy.

    Tommy found the proper sockets for the dogbones from the same company that sold the dogbones. That makes life easier. I have lost the links to those dogbones but will try to get the address from Tommy at the Friday boat meeting.
