Get an old chainsaw file and heat it up red hot! Then burn a hole through the end of the climb line about an inch from the end. (I'm assuming you don't have spliced eyes, or else you would just tie the throwline to the eye!)

 

Then cut a short bit of throwline, thread it through the hole and tie it into a loop using a double fishermans. You now have a loop to clip a mini clip to and onto the throw bag.

 

spot on advice there rupe exactly as i would have said it

works a treat

the only bit i disagree with is do not let file get too hot or it smolders and makes a horrid hole pretty hot a couple of times is better imo and then you can do it very close to end

my throwline has an eye splice and gets girth hitched to the ring on the bag. the bag gets removed and about 5 or 6 half hitches tied down the climbing line. sometimes it's easier to thread your climbing line backwards (tail first), it may even let any twists untwist from the length of the line.
