Synthetic Winch Line- Leave It On or Off?
I am getting some synthetic winch line. For those of you who have it or have had it, do you leave it on day to day or just carry it with you? How does it hold up over time just staying on the spool in the elements?

i leave mine on all the time too, but i found that it needs to be covered in the summer because the sun tears it up--it has faded and frayed where exposed to the hot sun.

x3 or x4 what others have said, "Leave it on and covered." My Superwinch cover was a bit more than $20, but I'm glad I got the manufacturer cover as it fits perfectly. Need to squirt some 303 or some other UV protectant spray on the cover to protect it so it can keep protecting my rope.
