taconick Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'm just looking to purchase a recovery rope and wondering what everybody recommends. What are you using what do you wish you had what works and what doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 What type of rope exactly? i think most of us use recovery straps, which have a little bit of stretch in them, but still a big jolt and can be hard on the rig. Tom has a Bubba rope (is that the make?) ...it's like a bungee cord and makes for a super smooth pull. I use my winch wherever possible. Failing that I use a strap, but would prefer a Bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taconick Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I don't have a rope brand in mind I just wondering what everybody was using I prefer a rope over a strap but if everybody has straps maybe that's where I'll go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunet-Hemi Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Straps are cheaper but ropes are wayyyyyy better. Voodoo rope are priced OK if I recall correctly. Amazon.ca has ASR ropes for a good price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I have a 30' 7/8" ASR rope, and LOVE it! Soooo much smoother of a pull, with no neck snapping jerk. You can order very high quality ropes from the PORN store. This one here would be similar to what I have. Jeff is out of stock now, but you can see all the ropes he has here. They are expensive, but worth it IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I have the same rope as Derek, and highly suggest getting one if they fit in the budget. Love my ASR Recovery Rope and it was suggested by Jeff Hiltz before he got into the Jerk-Its. So either one would be a huge benefit to have. One thing I will say is its good to have a strap as well if there is any need for towing out of a trail. You can do it with the rope but the chance of stretching and ruining it is there.

Powerram Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Another thing to consider is if you need an extension for winching, I wouldn't recommend the stretchy snatch ropes or stretchy straps for winching . I carry a heavy rated web sling for winching but it isn't intended for shock loading , but is very effective for steady heavy load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
