Has anybody had any experience with those new BG reels that were being sold at Nationals? They look like modified clothesline reels, not incredibly sturdy, but better than putting together a similarly-priced, similarly exposed bungee system before every practice.

At $60 apiece, they seem like a pretty good deal -- even if you break one or two a season, it's a much easier cost for a University club to swallow than spending nearly $400 on an Uhlmann reel.
