throw lines

[High Scale]

The secret to avoiding tangles is to flake it into a tub, bucket, faltheimer cube. Every now and again throw it over a branch and let the line hang. As with all ropes, lines developer a memory, and will try to go back to how they were on the reel, so hanging it out will help resolve this. I see several people put the line around stick, all this does is put more twists back into the line.

 

 

NickfromWI recommended running your throw line around several branches throughout the crown of a tree and then pulling it through to get the twists out, I tried it and it worked.

the yellow edelrid throw line is really good. big a is spot on with the hanging thing. works well. harrison rockets are a beauty a 10and 12oz bag do the trick.

Out of all the throw lines ive used i like the new england best,nice and supple and silky smooth.

I like to have a range of weights as well, usually a 10oz and 12oz stored in the faltiemer on either end of the line for different situations.

Prefere heavy wights for hand throwing and lighter for the big shot

Zing-it line and edelrid 10 oz bags one each end stored in a line bag, no been in the game long but this seems to be a good system got to grips with already hitthe target more often than not.

Just been using Dyna-Glide. much nicer to throw than zingit and doesnt tangle at all. but zingit is still good.

1.75mm zing it, i spliced an eye in the end so i can girth hitch it easily onto the bag. i'll get a picture tomorrow if anyone wants.

I really liked the dg at first but once it starts going fluffy its a nightmare to use. too much friction over branches and tangles all the time. Zing it all the way now, good for pulling hangers out with too.

I'm with Drew on that, once the coating wears off the dyna glide its useless, unless you use a really heavy bag.

I only use zingit 1.75mm, with a ten or eight oz bag depending on height, tree species, and wind conditions, works just fine for me.

If your after any Zing it, get it now as Samson have just put their prices up Zing its gone up by about 30%. I'm sure your local dealer will still have stock as this was only a week ago.

i use zingit, i dont find that it tangles to bad. great for pulling deadwood out with as well as hangers
