Rigged PROPERLY steel won't recoil. Most people don't and that's the problem.Steel is also a LOT more durable than synthetic. In my personal experience even new synthetic is also prone to breaking LONG before the winch is near stalling. The quickest way to break it is just pull at a sharp angle against your fairlead.I plan to stick to my 5/16" 120-125' steel line, can usually find it for $40-60. The only way I'de try synthetic is if someone gave it to me new and I knew I was going to be using it soon in an environment were safety and protection of property isn't an issue. (such as a Jeep falling off a cliff or something like that)
