I'd especially like to know where to get a hardline setup like the one found on RT Classics

I havent had very good luck with the swivel fittings that I have used. Out of the 4 that I had, 3 of them leaked.

^^^^ same luck here, stay away from swivel fittings if using braided line

I have heard that you can use the line from a Phantom and it can be shaped to fit.

Really, I have used them and never had problem. Usually put 4-5 turns of teflon tape, do that to all fittings.

I do have a few new sets of the RT Hard lines and fittings if anyone wants to try that. They ain't cheap though...

Right. When I say swivel fittings fail, I am talking about the type you use for braided line, not macro fittings.

I saw this and remembered an episode from Two and a Half Men on which he says "Sarcasm is for winners, Alan!" :rofl:

Now, back to the thread!
