Sorry to bump an old thread.
Rhombus, How is the Masterpull holding up? Is there enough stretch to be concerned with snap back in the event of a line break? Masterpull says it will just go limp, but I am still a little skeptical.
I was talking to a dealer in Los Gatos, CA and he said he sells the abrasion gaurds for the line as well. Sounds just like a piece of tubular webbing. Even though it is for "Abrasion resistance" I think it would work good to protect the first 2 feet of line that is alway's exposed to the sun/rain/fire and brimstone, etc.
I have a few broken strands(who doesn't) that seem to poke me EVERYTIME, so I am eager to ditch the OEM setup and go with the Masterpull. I'm looking forward to any and all feedback on this old topic.
