Winch Rope
Xtremeteam:
--- Quote from: "drum" ---I must admit I'd prefer to see the webbing before making a decision or maybe here from somebdy that is using it first hand.
I'm guessing when you say Plasma you actually mean any of the decent branded synthetic ropes??
--- End quote ---
pretty much but the reason i said the above about the plasma is when people are breaking/melting there "plasma" when in actual fact its say dyneema its doin more harm than good the way the term is banded about.
in regards to the webbing it would appear to be a good idea & also you can get more on but never seen it in action,
P.S did you know that synthetic winch rope shouldn't be wound on the drum neatly as this can cause it to pull down through the top layers & hook up :wink:

Just bought 120 feet of plasma 12 rope (brand new) off ebay for £66 plus £5 postage and it came with eye for winch and the hook.
Its Dyname 12 (the stuff scorpion sells)
Keep your eyes peeled, you can get it on there cheap!!!!!
davidlandy:
its all supplied by the marine industry aint it?
Xtremeteam:
not AFAIAA,i cant quote on her of the top of my head where it all comes from & who imports it,all i know & wish to say is the ruftraks imports the plasma 12 strand which is purple,dynemma is blue & what scorpion sell is grey/silver,
i spent a fair while on the fone & in person discussing synthetic V wire 7 the different brands with andy T who owns rufftraks,
davidlandy:
