We have to use that reverse washer lock On our CRs. I use 3/16ths rubber gas line hose. IT doesn't freeze and It won't slip on the cable or stabilizing wire.

Death blow mini cam locks. I use the metallic whammys and don't like them. The rubber gas line hose has me thinking of using something different this year.

Remember This Is a CR survey. I don't think you can be using a non relaxing lock.

The problem I see with steel Is It corrodes In certain areas and It will rust over time rubber doesn't.

I use slim and bullet locks. Mainly use rubber tubing for whammies. Do use some steel whammies, not the twist-on aberrations.

Toothed death blow cams and I just put a second aluminum ferrule as a support. Fits my support wire perfectly. Works for me
