Correct way to create loop on end of synthetic winch rope? (2 Viewers)

[Josie'sLandCruiser]

I have a length of synthetic winch rope I want to use as a winch extension. Looking for advice/links on how to correctly create a loop at the end of this winch rope. I know how to do so with steel cable but obviously this is different. Thanks in advance!

I recommend going to the Samsung Rope website Samson Rope | Synthetic, Nylon, Polyester, & HMPE Rope Supplier - https://www.samsonrope.com/ . They have great resources on how to splice ropes of different materials and strand-count. They are a manufacturer of synthetic rope for the marine and arborist industries - they know what they are talking about.

Josie, check out factor 55 they make a braided rope (Fid). Its not too expensive and will braid loops in any normal winch lines. They also have a short video showing how to use it. Works great and you never need to worry about breaking a winch line again. I carry mine always. P.S. it takes about 5 min to braid in a loop with some practice.

Or, if in Canada Home - Freedom Recovery Gear - https://freedomrecoverygear.com/
They've also got Fids and rope to build your own.
