Throwline management

[Bakes5]

What do y'all use for throw line management. There has got to be a better way than hand coiling it.

Seems like I spend a considerable amount of time screwing around with the wretched throw line when I would rather be climbing

Thanks

The cheapest ways I've seen are and icecream pail or 5 gal bucket.

There are several pouches available from our sponsors that you can flake the line into.

I have a medium sized Buckingham for my extra long line that I do not use all that often.

My favorite tool is the Faltimer Cube imprted from Germany by Good Rigging. Due to teriffs on textiles it is pricey, retailing for around $60 US. Though it last for years and colapses into a neat little triangle.

I own two of them at this time.

Fold-it boxes from Sherrill. They are cheap and keep everything neat.

drop it in a bucket. flatten it with your hand. tie the end w/ the bag to the handle. on to the next job, tangle free.

I use the cube from Sherrill I bought at the TCIA expo last year. There is something called the Line Tamer that will move 200' of line in about 15 seconds,(with fresh batters). I have one but unless I have a lot of line to move, its just as easy to load by hand.
I took another members advise from this site and hook a mini or key chain size carabiner to a button hole near my neck. Then I place the line through the biner and using two hands, I flake it into the cube. Simple & effective!!! Good luck. HC

I know, its just terrible, that little line can be such a pain, honestly. I would rather be climbing as well, at least I don't climb with spurs.

Hey clearance you old thread killer. Just wondering if you even own a through bag & line? If so, whats your method? Maybe we can help our "fellow member" with his question this time!!! HC

So easy, so fast. It's like cheating.

Just having fun HC, relax, no I don't own a throw line and bag. Sounds like he is getting good advice, probably can handle a little humor as well.

You can get a neat little box at wal-mart that has a zippered top and plastic insert to retain its shape, and has a carry strap and a hand hold on the lid, and a pouch in front to put the throw bag in. I think its about 6$ or there-about. Kinda resembles a 6-pack cooler! LOL Actually works very well. I wrote throw-ball on top of mine with a marker so it looks official.

Wicked slick

Hey Tree! That looks like one of the best set-ups I've seen. Please explain further.

i used to use a identical set up for fishing. Hold the spool (in the center handle) in your non throwing hand, peel a bit of line off and throw your lead throwing weight. the line peels off lickety split and does'nt tangle at all.

Makes sense.

Thats true, but where, what, how?

Here's a few more pics. The first one was when ZingIt just came on the market. It was a nice upgrade, moving on from the regular slickline (polypropylene) to ZingIt (Dyneema).

3 questions:
1. What is it called (the smaller reel)?
2. Where do you get it?
3. Have you tried using the reel with ZingIt and a Big Shot?

Thanks,

Tree Machine....That is exactly what I am looking for. Where did you get it?

Thanks
