Sawpod Press Release - Announcing the new Throwpod

[mistahbenn]

Yep got a cube to go with my helicopter.... will try out some new line when I return from Florida. All that on my mind now is sun, sea, lobsters and throwline

[TonyDarbyshire]

We look forward to hearing from you when you are back...enjoy the seafood and the sun - still raining here!

[Mark Bolam]

Joking aside, are there any plans to bring out a heavier model at some point Tony?

Nothing worse than making the perfect shot into some ivy covered shitbag but the bag simply refusing to drop.

+ so i can fit my oldschool 13mm rope through the eyelet.

Mark - no plans at the mo. Come and have a go with the 10oz at one of the shows or comps...I'll see if I can convince you about the weight!

[Mark Bolam]

I'm going to get one anyway Tony, now I've sussed a way to quick-clip a line.

 

Just need to convince you about a discount....

I personally like the streamline eyelet, stops it getting caught on little dead pegs. I can't fault it at all really, I'm using 2mm marlow always have done, never got on with zingit and only tried stein pink once but forgot about that experience so wouldn't mind giving it another blast with the throwpod in tow

Tony in all seriousness, what is the harm in having heavier versions brought out. I know that on the treehouse this subject has come up.... Really, I would prefer a slightly heavier model....

[TonyDarbyshire]

We have stitched an loop into the end of my throwlines, so you can thread them through the pod's eye, around the end of the pod into a lark's foot on the ring. For quick release to pile hitch onto your line...this alleviates any need for knots to get caught in the line...I'd take a photo, but I'm not going to get my gear in this rain! Will post a photo when the sun shines!!

We will think about it, in all seriousness the product is just finding it's feet....always open to suggestions, however. Keep the questions coming - always good to see what everyone thinks!
