No way should you have that much spooled out. Agreed the eye splice gives you some additional peace of mind of stripping the line straight off the spool, but you should still have AT LEAST 5 wraps on the drum. Keep in mind that the splice will hold tension, but won't provide any torsional friction to spool the line in under load.
If you have a winch, you really need to have a section of line to use as an extension so you don't have to pull that much out.

I probably should have been clearer about that. For those that don't wheel or winch that often they might get a false impression that it's OK to spool out that far. I just put this up as an alternate to the traditional way where one has to rely solely on paying attention.
And yep the ring terminal and set screw I have in mine wont hold up much if you start cranking on it. I replaced the original screw with a stainless one when I first got the winch mounted. I don't know what the original screw was made of but if it's just normal mild steel then it has a tensile strength of about 700 lbs I replaced mine with a stainless 304 screw and added a low profile ring to it. Stainless 304 has a tensile of about 90,000psi or something like that but since it's only about 0.125" in diameter it's tensile strength would only be good for about 1,300lbs. Less than that actually since it's being pulled on a sheer line. I'm with ya on the extension I have a technora line with closed end thimbles. I've used it a couple of times and even though it's 80 feet I think I'm going to get a much longer one. 80 feet doesn't seem like that much when you're looking for a tree with a decent sized trunk.
