no
plasma is great if you know how to use it,
if you dont it would be the most expensive purchase to get ruined,
no disrespect to either of you but id advise wire to any one new to the winching game

people think you can stick plasma on and its job done
oh no
its a steep learning curve :wink:
and, they need looking after, as neglect will destroy it in a matter of months
i agree with what mike says, its not for a 1st time user

we had no problem with the wire on our defender put plasma on it and it snaped first time!

I am in the process of fitting a winch in the new year with steel cable. I am new to winching so i have got a steel cable to [!Expletive Deleted!] about with before i even think about plasma . My question is if i fit a winching sail blanket thingy to the wire , where abouts do i put it i.e. near the winch in the middle or near the winch hook. Or could any body share any exsperience on where to buy one from or even better what to make one with.

i use an ARB orange one bought from D44
it slides up & down the rope
if im winching out a section over a road i have it int he middle to warn others that there is a live rope there, any other time i try to have it at the hook end but its 6 n 1/2 dozen its where abouts
extreme90:
ive got two on my cable, got a big chaff guard that spends most of its time at the hook
then ive got the heavy pvc arb sail that mike mentiond
regs state that when crossing a path you must have the sail there to mark the tort line
but when not my sail is usually 2/3rd the cable length from the winch
dan how did it snap and where abouts ?
you got a picture of the broken halfs ?
