Sorta had the idea that plasma was better, i was told that it was really high maintenance but I haven't had anything to do with it. Also, how many metres would you get on a low mount. 9000lb Warn

It is higher maintenance than steel, however the beauty of it is that you can remove is and store it in a bag within 5 minutes, and then re-install it just as quick. I leave my rope off 99% of the time, and usually only fit it up when we're going away.

The vic pol 4wd have switched to plasma, they give ther vehicles a beating and use the winches weekly. No worries about cross winding it, no sharp bits of cable sticking out
