Do wonder also if possibly a very fine say skateboarders ‘grip tape’ and or wet & dry fine sand paper affixed to a drum may assist? Only in wacky theory and you’d still loose a few good feet as PeeBee mate above although we really shouldn’t be pushing those limits too far anyway. Winch extension straps I believe should be our first go to unless in absolute dire straits needed!
Maybe the fine grit on the drum over time could cause too much new age winch rope abrasion on the first spool layer wrap?
