DIY - Stingers

[Vanguard]

Anyone know what kind of cable I should use to make my own heavy duty stinger extensions? I think it's 12/3 SJ but not 100% sure. Also, does anyone know where I can get a spool of like 100 ft for fairly cheap?

Thanks!

Home Depot and Lowes have 250ft spools for about $180-200
