[QUOTE="Rexracer, post: 464762, member: 26239"] Sorry, but I can't agree with your post. Sounds like you are a few decades out of date on your info. Nobody should be using either nylon or natural fiber lines on a winch. Dyneema is many,many times stronger than either, and has almost zero stretch. It is way safer than any other winch line, and does not narrow and stretch like nylon. I use Spectra kite line that is about the size of dental floss that is rated for 90 lbs. 500lb line is about .050" in diameter. You should always use modern ( typically dyneema) synthetic winch lines on a winch. Any natural fiber is just not strong enough. [/QUOTE]
