Cecil, have you noticed any degrading of the cable ties over time?

Not really and I use the black and the white colors. However every year I go over the cages with a fine tooth comb before I put them in the water. If I find any damage or weakness it's replaced. I have found out if their is a hole fish will find it! I also try and change out the fish into a newly cleaned cage once a year and clean the old ones with a power washer for the next change out.

My cable ties aren't really at stress points though. The only real stress points are where the jugs are attached for flotation and I use nylon rope for that. The nylon rope also does not cut into the cage material like the cable ties would where the jugs are attached. I do know however the nylon rope will eventually get weak over time if it is continuously submerged.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
