RE: Snubber for steel wire rode

I am not sure it can ever be done with high loads and not damaging the wire.

I would get a heavy rode rider (say 50 lbs of lead) that could be hand recovered and deploy it to reduce the shock loading of cable.

With an extra small sailboat winch 500lbs could be recovered with ease on the windy days.
