Throw Weights & Line

How do you get your rope started in a tree when the branch is 50ft or more off the ground? The most common, and arguably the best way, is to use a throw weight and line. The throw weights that we carry feature a durable Cordura® cover and we carry all the popular sizes (including a new bullet-shaped 8oz weight). Once you have your throw weight you will need a small diameter throw line. Not just any small diameter twine will do, rather you need a line that is slick (so it doesn’t get hung up) and strong so you don’t break it. A very popular choice is Fling-It™, a premium throw line made of Dyneema®. It is very slick, strong and light. For those on a budget, we offer a Throw Weight Kit that gives you both a quality throw weight and line for one low price. Once you have your throw weight and line, you need to get them high up in the tree. To accomplish this, climbers use a variety of tools (other than their arms) such as slingshots, the BIG-SHOT® and even a bow and arrow.
