I believe that is correct.. Had em for about 5-6 years and they do have a blue dump strap and dont say Cabelas.. I use my chains more, but still keep em with me for those rough days.

If you ever want to upgrade, I need one of the blue ones, but will take em both.

OK Bill.......I don't think I will ever need anything else though, unless they tear up on me... But if I do, they are yours.

hawg, what size/length of chain do you use? How much rope do you let out when using chains?

I use 6' of 1/2" chain in the timber. I also have some shorter pieces I add to them if I need to.

I also have and use three links of barge chain on each side. Each link is 7" long and 4" tall and they are 3/4" diameter.

I keep 50' of line on each. The more line out, the more drag you get and slower you go.
