[QUOTE="dkbstoy, post: 1067450, member: 16731"] dirk hit it on the nose the #1 reason to run rope is safety. when winch rope breaks under load it does bounce a little but far less than cable or a snap strap. if your standing beside winch rope when it breaks it may give you a bruise but wont take off a limb. as well as the fact that you never have to worry about kinked or freyed cable slicing your hand open when respooling or?. the downside to rope is the abrasion resistance of cable is much higher a rough rock will cut through rope under tension instantly where it may only slightly frey a cable. fyi DANTRAWL is where i get the rope my buddys parents own the place they are one of the largest fishing supply companys in the us. they are a wholesale company and have no storefront there main local wherehouse is in ballard just 1/2 block east of the bardahl sign if you go in and ask ben nicely he might hook you up (a case of coke or? always makes the wherehouse guys happy) make sure you have cash!!
