big jon auto stops

[sherman51]

i been going to ask this for awhile. but i bought a set of big jon pro tournaments with the auto stop. then i put the cannon ball retrievers on them. when i let them down it knocks the bead off the cable crimp. it doesnt seem to be hurting anything, and the auto stops still work. does anybody elce have this problem?? is there anything that can be done?? will it cause the cable to fail??

When I had the pro tournaments, I also used a ball retriever. I had problems with the cable fraying at the crimp. Some people use a speed bead so they do not have to crimp it on the cable.

I also had problems with the bead getting caught in the ball retriever when setting lines, and would end up with a birds nest on the rigger if I was not carefull.
