WRG winch rope on the website!

Anyone have any tips for un spooling a Warn synthetic rope that PO respooled sloppily and is now pinched and won't unspool?
Never needed the winch until 2 weeks ago and could only get 10 feet unrolled before hitting the pinch

Pull harder while in free spool.

Tie the rope off to the bumper with a half hitch while winching to free the pinch.

P.S. my truck winch was badly spooled and pulled through the rope on the spool...we struggled for a bit to get it free here...

If JJ’s “muscle it, sweetheart” approach doesn’t work, hook it to something stationary (like car hitch or something similar), put it in free spool, and gently back up.

Is that not what I was suggesting?

I'll give that a try, I guess a 9k lb F250 shoud be sufficient to hook to

@mrblaine, do I point the thimble keep up or down?

Your signature applies perfectly. The purpose of the fairlead is to move the thimble out of harm's way. Orient it so that it is stored in such a manner to encounter the least amount of damage according to your style of wheeling.

My fellow Appalachian-Americans arise!

Personally I think the avatar goes too far north, but I'm not a hater...
