School me, please. I've been really intrigued by synthetic winch lines -mostly because of the lower recoil in case of breakage and lighter weight advantages- but don't actually have one just yet. Then I was watching this vid. First pull with his new winch and synth line. And it got me to wonder now. What happened to his line? Check out at 9:40. Any idea what was the cause? Looks like it just melted. He may have screwed up something when using it but still, it's a bit concerning after just the one use. And especially given how expensive these things are. Thoughts?
