    Cheap dyneema winch rope

    Just ordered a dyneema winch rope on fleabay 6mm x15mts for $29.50 we will see how that goes on the trailer winch or how long before it gets taken, i figure that if i cut it in half and keep the other half in the car ill have a spare if it does,it seems cheaper than buying a winch rope.

    Just have to splice it, fairly eady if single braid, a lot more complicated if double braided. Have fun.
    One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce and canonized those who complain.

    Chris, I've not heard of winch rope being stolen, where are you launching that this occurs.

    The bastards would steal the air out of your trailer tyres at Deepwater Bend.

    Sounds more a case of bored people rather than intention to get an item.

    It seem to be the same as the expencive stuff from other boating stores.

    These days 6mm dyneema is cheap...I even have it as my cast net ropes.

    I had not heard of it ever being stolen from trailers at the ramp car parks.
