Amsteel sythentic winch line?

sigman · May 24, 2008

Anybody heard of or used Amsteel winch line? They are alot cheaper than Master pull, and that what got me worried. Any feedback would be put to good use. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I've been recovered by Amsteel a couple times and I know a several peeps who have it. the biggest advantage, IMO, is that if it breaks it just goes slack, no decapitating rebound.

MasterPull synthetic advertises higher minimum breaking strength.

Both are fine. I know several people with both and both see fine.

I have only used, the Masterpull stuff so far, but my next order will be with winchline.com( Amsteel )

I have 130' of 5/16 on my winch and it is the best thing since sliced bread.

Well I have used AMSTEEL Blue alot and have never had a problem with it. The cheapest place I have found to buy it is at Seattle Marine in Ballard. It is a marine store that caters to the commercial fleet, but sells to the public.
