Rope is best in most all situations. Rope is just that, a rope. It will not barb you like cable. It is actually stronger then cable for it's size and weight.

Check out this post for a comparison.

Thanks for the help. I will probably leave the cable on for now and replace with rope in the future.

Same here. I have cable on now with a rope backup in my clove box. I will use it as a extension until my cable breaks then it will become the replacement line.

Using Rope - Cable problems splitters, doesn't roll back up good just a pain, had to use my rope this weekend to pull my truck out of the mud that was a sight pulling my Nissan Titan out of the mud with my Pioneer.

You should have videoed that. If it would have been a Chevy you would have not had to worry about pulling it out, it would have got out on its own...... Lol. Just kidding

I damaged my cable on the first use- apparently it wound wrong and jammed, fraying it. I replaced with a KFI synthetic tonight. Seems way easier to mess with.
