Line poles

[lippy]

Hello does any 1 use poles to get further up the tree rather than throwing the rope. If so what Do you use and any pics

Same here. AUS poles with the switching head. Can get your rope a good 12m up the tree from the ground with only half the foul language that comes with a throw line.

Just been shown how to use a throwball properly so that's what I'm practicing at the moment but I also was using the AUS poles with the switching head on. Saves getting throw line wrapped around my feet and pine cones and branches etc and then spending hours cursing. I'm getting better though.

There is no skill involved with throw lining. In reality no one is good with a throwline, it's a myth!

It is possible I think to become reasonably competent if you use one every day for 45years.

The only real way of getting successful throws is if you are blessed with the ability of magic.

 

I've been using one for a year and I'm still rubbish. That's all the proof you need.

 

So, I bought a Big Shot last week, brilliant

 

:lol:

Don't agree. I've worked with some guys who are annoyingly accurate with them.

Because they went to school at Hogwarts. If you don't have magic, a good throw is only achievable with luck i tell you:001_tt2:

Will use that next time I have to get one of them to get my line in for me.

I've seen a couple of the guys down here who are also unnervingly good at hitting their target while I'm busy throwing it back over my head, across the car park, into the old chap looking out his window, onto the exhaust stack of a passing goods vehicle etc. I'm starting to get it but it took for someone just to show me how to throw, direct etc to get a basis to work from. Sounds elementary to some but it's all new to me. Mind you, now we are starting to use the rope wrench and don't always have to isolate a branch I can start to see a whole heap of new benefits. Still have to break out the poles every now and then though.

you are supposed to use a pole, there's a new one with like a claw hammer style head but sorry, don't know the name or make , all i do know is it's fiber glass ,contact ian morgan arb(should be a website), i know he has one.

by the way , when i use a throw line i always aim for the tree next to the one i'm doing, as long as it's on the left, on a tuesday ,,, in august,,, with a north eastily breeze .
