I have a plasma rope on my #2500. It is nice to handle as there is never a burr or kink. I did have is break once whilee pulling out of a snow bank. The rope just fell to the ground with out any recoil. Tied it back together and pulled myself out. I got mine from masterpull.com. Service was strange, but the PR arrived and all was fine. It comes with an extra heavy-duty hook that takes two hands to operate. It also comes with an eyelet at the other end. This I had to cut off, carefully push the PR thru the drum hole, and just tie a knot in the end. The 50' PR just fits on the drum. I recomend a roller fairlead to minimize abraision.
