Throw line.

i like that Al, where do you get it?

 

Some of it from Fishing tackle shops, some from internet and some of it from my shed.

 

Kev, it weighs exactly 1 kilo with the lead weight attached

I have a couple of lines, one zing-it and dyneema liros. The zing-it has snapped repeatedly under load, like when it jams under a flake of bark, the liros has never broken, and I just know I can pull on it far more aggressively if it jams up a tree. I must have used the liros for 3 or 4 years now, and still prefer it over other types.

Al, can you post a picture of both the weight you use and the spectra line? where do you get the spectra line. Do you shoot the spectra, and then pull over zing it and then pull over the rope or do you pull over the rope in one.

I like spectra lines. 15lb powerpro the size of 4 pound mono was fairly consistently giving me 80 M in height . The 30lb size of 8lb was arcing at 70M.

Here's my mechanism for deploying it:

 

Thats brilliant:thumbup:

I always thought a fishing reel would be the best idea but i was thinking more multiplier than fixed spool. Now i see the fixed spool on the sling i almost got a chubby:lol:

Like it very much:thumbup:

I pulled a poplar over with my dynaglide!

Kev, you can use Zing to pull it over, sure. I like to use 4mm polyamide kernmantel followed by your working line. I always tie into the larger line with a clove hitch about 2 ft from the end of the pulled line. That way it rolls over anything without getting hitched up.

 

The weight is home made, cast from lead and coated in rubber like (example): Plasti Dip Protective Coating Products | Plasti Dip Protective Coating Products | Rubber Dip Coating

Just to seal the lead in.

 

The spectra is fishing tackle (example) : 500 M PE Braided Fishing Line - 10 LB - Spectra

 

Lighter the line, the further she flies.

For trees you need to use fairly heavy stuff unless of course they are 80m high which they rarely are.

Lightweight = compromise in strength.

 

You can pull over a working line with the heavier spectra but you'll need leather gloves and wind it round under elbow and over hand while taking in with the other hand.

Cheers for info al. I may very well copy your idea:)

[Nellybelly]

made myself something similar last year, if you tie sliding knots of bright coloured strands of wool every 5meters on the reel braid it really helps to see what's going on with your line when its up high, if you leave tails around 15mm it will still peel off the reel fine. also if you can find any of the black theratube elastic similar to what they use on bigshots that thing will breeze 90-100 meters with 3oz of lead! but up the breaking strain of the braid to 30kgs because if you stop the line by accident or the bail arm closes you'l crack the lead off every time. sometimes see the elastic go through ebay.

Well, to be honest, I never heard of or seen a Loler stamp.

I just blew in here from a sort of hideously unfeasible and unhinged access melting pot.

 

 

 

 

AL BAKER - i'm loving your pics and posts!

 

great to see someone off on their own buzz finding solutions to the everyday problems - which haven't got the loler stamp, painted orange or has arb on it:lol:

Thanks for your comments by the way, much appreciated.
