Sounds like it might. But after all, Branch Doc reports that it works great just as it is...maybe we don't need to fix what ain't broke :D.

Have to be just the right amount of "hook" to the hook...even then, might be tricky to get it to fly free consistently.

Bet that thread's long gone.

Looks good, Nick.

That's a nice design...what make/model is that reel?

I have to pre-strip mine, with the auto-rewind, there is no freespool. I find that I can sometimes lay the cord carefully out, back and forth over a clean limb, from closer to me out toward the direction I want to toss, and it'll sometimes even feed out cleanly :lol:. Just as often, I coil...

Looks good, Richard. I like the elastic band idea.

Found this thread with a google search of gypoclimber.com...maybe it'll give you some ideas. http://gypoclimber.com/showthread.php?11174-Throwline-trick-for-traversing

Here's version 2.0. I followed Bearclaw's suggestion of using zip ties, cause I had some and didn't have small enough hose clamps on hand. Initially I set it up with a couple around the spine of the biner, but that seemed insecure as the ties could slip off the reel mounts. I added a couple to...

Baby grapple hook from New Tribe...cat's meow with several possible applications.

Thanks,Bob. T'was kind and most generous of you to send it along. I rather like having such a cool t bag on my reel, for sure.

I guess a couple of itty bitty hose clamps would do it...maybe.

It works, but I was wondering about somehow mating the reel mount straight onto the spine of a carabiner. I dunno...

How do you like that spiffy Harrison Rocket? :D I was gifted that by a fellow THouser after I loaned a piece of interesting gear to try out.

Like more than a few climbers, I have found that 50 feet of throwline can be a bear to deploy and stow up in the tree with any semblance of efficiency. Also like more than a few, I've found that one of the auto rewind flyfishing reels is a slick way to deal with the problem. My question is for...
