Given identical types of ends and repeatedly stressed, any engineer
would expect that solid rod would fail before cable type.


This guy is a funny troll. Even the makers of standing rigging admit
that rod is more durable. It's also a supperior system due to lower

selling either also say rod is longer lived.
This guy is some engineer.
