It's old news, from early this year or last. That's not to say there isn't a reel or two out there that could still have that flaw. A batch of the bolts that hold the handle together had been machined too agressively and were snapping. Usually it revealed itself pretty quickly and it wasn't just happening in severe Canal service, I saw a 150 or two that it happened too as well.
If you actually see one it's immediately obvious that it was WAY too thin.
Once again Mike_P, this is just what it is, not an apology, nor is it a subjective viewpoint. No need for some snide comment.
