I've bought 3 lengths off him that have copped various amounts of abuse/neglect with no issues yet. I've just got one of Pauls 12000lb units for my brothers GU as well.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again - Pauls service is top notch, he runs a tight ship!

I have it as well, and it is great. So much better than wire, and it has stood up to some hard winches.

I bought a winch of him last week a 12000lb tigerz11 (rope model), i had been looking at winchs for a while, we had previouslly bought one for my mates Hilux a 10,000lb of evil Ebay not sure of the brand and it is working well, i was going to buy the same until i decided to pay extra and go the tigerz due to the rope,
Im more than happy i did, great service and it fitted exallent, the main reason i went the rope model was the weight, my mates 10,000lb weighed 42kg and Paul told me the tigerz with the rope came in about 24kg, i struggled to believe that weight but he was spot on, so i was rapt as you will find less weight is always a bonus,

Is it absorbent? Is it necessary to unroll and dry frequently? Will it rote I’m thinking of switching would like to know as I don’t do it to the steel and would say I will not do it the rope.

Technically you should treat it like a snatch strap - if it gets dirty it needs to be washed and dried. Dirt is abrasive and will damage the rope. Most rope users i know (and myself) only fit it when we're heading out wheeling, it is removed for daily car usage.

Sunlight/UV tends to damage them too over a period of time.

I don't know how much the tigerz rope is but it would be worth checking out Nobles for the cost of Supermax. From what i have seen and experienced the Supermax outperformed anything else and you could trust it.

But you need to maintain any rope as the abrasion will make it more likely to wear out quicker.

Farkin' expensive. Was quoted something like $25 a metre for 11mm the other week over the phone. Went with the made in Denmark 10mm for $10.78 a metre instead.
