It is less likely to be tampered with on a snowshoe. And you can store a bunch of slack that way. Space them far apart and put lots of turn on them. Much better than a coil.

I guess I'm gonna betray my ignorance here, because I don't understand why you'd want a snow shoe. If it's ok to just leave a coil on the pole, why would you not do that?
