Retractable throwline

Surveyor that's excellent, thanks for sharing:001_cool:

Thanks to Nick and Mr. Hoffman. I am not sure how far the throw line will extend and still retract on reel.

Great little vid...let us know how far it will go and retract when you find out.

I've been working on a similar thing using an old fishing reel, mine isn't auto retractable though but you just wind it up. still a lot quicker than trying to feed it into a small bag.

I was also thinking of trying a a builders chalk line it looks ideal and the length of the line is better but not sure how strong the line will be

For ground retractable throwline, I was going to attach a multiplying sea fishing reel to a big shot pole

I've made a few of these, very popular. Put all the details on a thread in here a while back.

I had enough of making them now, got other fish to fry. I'm sure someone will market something similar eventually.

It will throw a 30lb spectra line with a drilled 15mm lead shot 80m vertically.

I keep a throwbag on a short throwline loop on my harness that I can quickly attach to the eye of my climbing line for tricky throws. Often I'll leave it on if its a long ascent (doesn't interfere with my HC) and just take it off when im at my top anchor point.
