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?

Tuff Stuff , I've had a 3/4" 100" on my winch since I got it... it's seen a lot of use...

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.Tuff Stuff , I've had a 3/4" 100" on my winch since I got it... it's seen a lot of use...
Thanks I will check them outCheck out Southeast Overland. They roll their own kinetic ropes, synthetic winch lines, and other recovery gear. I've been there and watched them make ropes. They know what they're doing and they're quality people to deal with.

After having my "cheap option" Tuff Stuff rope on my winch for almost 8 years... And, pulling a tone with it... I'm still happy I got what I got. The only reason I got the spare line from Custom Splice was a killer deal on it at the time... And, I figure eventually, I'll need it.Upping your budget $50 to be $250 is a small premium to pay for reliable gear. Even on custom splice, Amsteel Blue is $240 for a 3/8" x 100'.
You wheel conservatively, and maybe you would be ok with inexpensive line that has a lower rating. That maybe is too expensive for me, and so my outlook is to buy quality gear with higher ratings because it is cheaper than the repair to a damaged vehicle. Both are conservative outlooks, but each places value on different objectives.
