Help...FML - Winch rope tangled up...

I have synthetic rope and not sure how it happened but somehow the rope must have doubled up on itself or something.

If I try to pull line out it gets stuck at one point and I can't pull any further (maybe 1/3 out.) If I try to winch it out it just starts pulling the rope back in. Anyway to un-F this without pulling whole winch out? Thanks.

 

I tried that...It's stuck pretty good. I'm starting to think I'm going to have to cut this.

 

Worst case you take the winch off and fiddle with it in a less confined area. Depending on what winch you have, you should be able to take it apart enough to get full access to the drum to untangle it.

It's impossible to have an actual knot in it though, so tugging on it should get it out, though.

 

Hook up, free spool, and back up.

 

I'll give that a shot. Report back in later. Unless I tear out the light post and get arrested.

 

Lol. Hopefully that doesn't happen. Take video though.

 

Make sure you can get farther away from the post than it is tall. Oh, and I agree with @Pilsner ...video for sure!

 

OP either died or doesn't want to show video.

WTF man!

But seriously, @iJDub, how's it going?

 

Light post must have got him.

 

Maybe he got arrested and couldn't smuggle his phone into prison.

 

"Watch yer cornhole, Bud"

 

Best movie ever

"No man. Shit. No. I believe you'd get your ass kicked for sayin' something like that."

 

Probably wishing he had kept that small flip phone

 

At my old job, we had a grumpy lady named Munday. I bet a coworker $10 he wouldn't say it...

After waiting a week with no action, I dropped "looks like someone as a case of the Mundays..." on her in a staff meeting. Room got veeeeery silent since most were afraid of her. She leaned over the table, got a sick smile on her face and said "I swear to god, Imma stab you in the parking lot later"

We've been good friends since.

 

never give a kid a bait caster. I once respooled a reel 4 times in one day, before I took it away from him.

 

At my old college job (managed a bike shop), one of my new employees was sitting there talking to some of the other mechanics. I forget what he was talking about but the punch line was something about getting beaten like a red-headed step child. He didn't see me (a ginger) standing there. OMG the look on his face was classic "I'm fired, aren't I?". I paused then said "don't worry man, I'm not offended, my real dad beat me."

 

Sorry guys the pole I broke was for the local internet so couldn't post. JK.

It ended up working and now my line is properly spooled! Thanks!
