The lit said it came with 125'...but it was only 100' of wire rope...I never used the wire rope though, because I had ordered the synthetic, and didn't want to burr anything before getting the new rope on....and I hadn't measured the wire rope I took off, I just let it free wheel while a freind walked off with the hook end...

So - I ordered 125' when I only needed 100', and put it on w/o measuring....and I'd been told the synthetic wraps differently/could cross wind w/o damage, etc...I didn't sweat the wrap job other than doing it under load, and trying to get it to at least initially go onto the spool neatly.

In short, I wound on 25% more than it was supposed to hold.



I'm considering just letting out 25', and wrapping it around/onto the bumper to take up the slack....and just having a 25' headstart on getting the hook out when needed, etc.

I am not sure of the UV resistance of the rope that would be exposed though....
