Throw line trick

[GregManning]

This is a simple, useful trick to retrieve a stuck throw ball in sketchy trees or other trees you don't 'need' to climb.
This trick is also useful for retrieving a rope jammed in a tight union, using a carabiner or larger Q-link.

Very clever !

That's pretty slick. Is there any reason to remove the throwbag before installing the screw link?

Not really, it makes it easier to see what's happening in the video. And, sometimes it's good to leave the throw bag on, in case some manipulation is needed on the way up or down.
