If you have ever used a winch, and the steel cable kinked up or developed sharp frays, then then you know just how frustrating it can be. Synthetic winch rope does not suffer from the same problem. Aside from never kinking, synthetic rope is also stronger, lighter and won't conduct electricity or heat. Making the jump to synthetic over steel just makes sense. Specs (SR-50-45): 50 ft. length, Synthetic rope, 6mm (1/4") width, Designed for use on any 4500 lb. or lower winch.
