I went ahead and bought a line from Custom Splice, 3/8 100ft of their diamond line, and it fit the 12k vortex winch. Hopefully it performs as well as the cable did. Thanks everyone for all you suggestions and guidance.

Not sure, but the line didn't fit, not even close to fitting, it should be labeled as tow truck winch rope. It's going back.

This the Ranger synthetic rope from Amazon. Hook looks heavy duty, makes mine look like a toy, hopefully the steel is good quality. All I can see is the rope protector, it is very tight on the rope and heavier than expected. Shipping weight was 7lbs. Will see if it all fits in the winch later today

Southeast overland is about 250 for the 3/8 line shipped. A bit over the budget.

Thanks I will check them out

The tuff stuff has pretty good reviews, the last reviewer said his snapped, so it doesn't give me that warm and fuzzy feeling I was looking for.

I have steel cable on my winch. It's old and starting to fray in one section. Looking to buy synthetic winch rope but don't want to spend more than I did on the winch. Anyone know a good quality 3/8 100ft or less syn winch rope for under 200?
