Synthetic winch rope install

A fairlead is a term used for both synthetic rope and cable. He's saying that you have both rollers (on your fairlead).....and a fairlead. Hawse vs roller....both fairleads.
A fairlead is the appliance for guiding cable or line. There are many types, hawse and roller are just two of those. Has exactly zero to do with synthetic or steel rope.

While you are here, is there any disadvantage to using a roller fairlead with synthetic line?

Visual aids for types of fairleads. These are a few, there are 100's.

Ah. Well fuck you must know everything there is to know. the guys at big foot winch ropes don’t know dog shit.
Just so you understand, just because some good ole boys found a source for some synthetic line and can cobble together a few products, that doesn't mean they actually know anything. The vast majority of them are repeating the same myths they read on the internet just like the rest of them and you are doing.

If you actually have understanding instead of knowledge, then it doesn't take much to figure that out.

Rather than take their bullshit as gospel, why don't you spend a few minutes with some critical thought and try to figure out why I am right and why they are so wrong it is laughable?
