The best throwline?

JeffGu said:
I want to know if I'm the only one who fires off that bag, realize it's on the perfect course for nailing it on the first throw... just to find out you're standing on the damn throwline and it jerks to a stop six freakin' inches from the crotch.

Because, well, I've used some language when that happens that would make an old, drunk sailor run away with his hands over his ears.

Oh yes, I sometimes am on perfect aim for the shot I want and get rejected by the limb either three inches to the left or right or my freaken foot. Can't remember who on here said it but it was said perfect when they referred to it as the throwline gremlins. I swear they wait and get a kick out of watching us flip our lid.
 
I finally got myself some dynaglide. Thought i should search up this thread and shear with you what i think of it. I Have been using it for 3-4 days. Got it tangled one time (with my od liros dyneema that would have happened 10 times). Glides great even with wet trees (i use a 8 oz bag). Im in love with it. Ill get a second one to...

Nah, nobody wants to see an old fart in a tutu and ballerina slippers. I bought an APTA a while back... finally got around to getting a pump and trying it out, last week.
Great bit of kit. Still had to practice a bit with it to find the sweet spot as far as pressure goes, but once you figure out that too little pressure and it looks like a possum farting a wine bottle cork out of his ass (we rolled laughing at those ones) and that too much pressure and you're likely to put a window out at the next block over, it really is a nice device.

I've had a big shot kit for 2 years and finally put the reel on recently.

It works so much better with the fishing line, but adds another step, changing from fishing line, to throw line, to climbing line.

I think I'm going to swap out the supplied fishing line for the braided stuff mentioned in the tips thread.
 
I spliced eyes on both ends of mine. I like it alot and have had zero issues thus far. Makes attaching both throw ball and a rope fast and stupid simple.
