Any one running Yankums fairlead?

[kansasboy91]

I’m considering switching away from my Factor 55 shackle to Yankums fairlead. I understand the plus and minus’s, I don’t want to hear about UV damage (unless you have actual experience and proof).

I’m asking now since they

Does anybody have any experience with them?

Thank you

I like the concept, like the look.....but they're awfully proud of it. Did you find a deal somewhere? Or just have lots of ?

In one of the FB groups there are pics of several faded but that was last year some time. I wonder if they figured it out ?

Ive been running their fairlead for over a year and love it.

Is it difficult to get the line out if you don’t have one of those pull straps?

You may already be aware, but here is another option from Masterpull that I’m considering.

The pull strap came with the fairlead. It’s a must for this system to work easily.

Ok cool, this is the kinda stuff I can’t find anywhere. Have you noticed that you get a lot debris coming through the fairlead? My Factor 55 shackle blocks most of the slot right now and that’s one of my other concerns.

No issues with debris. I conceal the strap by stuffing it in the fairlead so, I guess that could help with debris ?‍

Nah, I run a roller with synthetic line.

I have been running one for about a year and a half. In fact I pulled it off my old rig and transferred to my new Jeep. I really like the line with no hard hook at the end and the fair lead just makes it easier to store. Before I switched to this fair lead I used a regular synthetic style fair lead and added a soft shackle to the end and just sucked it in. That left the big knot sticking out. The yankum fair lead is a little cleaner. I find it easier to power out a couple feet and then you can freespool the rest out.
