Way too light.  We typically use 220# test on winches, and we have used heavier 
at the Nats.  150# test is common for retievers.  I typically put two spools of 
220# on a drum.

Jim, the question Paul asked about dacron line. I would say no, as it has no 
stretch as compared to nylon and braided vs twisted, braided is also more 
durable therefore prefered.
 Comments ?
