Reviewer: Ivan Lopez

I have using the same ~60ft piece for over 6 months. Absolutely no complaints. Hold hitch knots securely around rings, biners and weights.

The good, the bad, and the 'maybe not for me'.. - 06/30/2015
Reviewer: Pete

It does have all of the good characteristics of dyneema lines. That being said, the core material seems to possess a lot of 'memory'. Yes it is slick, glides easy in the tree, etc. When I flake it in the bag, it retains its coiling from the spool. I initially laid the line out around a tree and firmly tugged on it to try a 'release' the curling tendencies. Again, flaked in to the throw bag and... coils galore.

Firing the Big Shot led to numerous misses, tangles, and air knots. Maybe those issues will diminish with time but off the spool, this is a non starter. I have good days and not so good days using the Big Shot, but I am in no way this bad after using it for several years. A crotch in an oak that I hit in one shot on a Friday afternoon, yielded ten plus misses on the following Monday? After watching the line fly rather than the target, I could see the weight being pulled off course by the coils being pulled tight mid flight. Depending on how the coils got pulled out, influenced the flight path of the weight.

My preferred dyneema lines (Dynaglide, etc.) do not exhibit this issue. You may get air knots due to line limpness (coating dependent), but the flight of the throw bag is usually consistent from shot to shot.

The plus side for this line is that it does have a dyneema cover and therefore has the characteristics of a dyneema line, primarily longevity. The 'roundness' seems to be a plus too. The core material seems create the memory problems. In fairness, I did have this spool laying around for more than a year before I put it in to service. It reminds me more of monofilament fishing line except when mono line gets wet, the memory sort of goes away. Over all, if this line doesn't get better in the next week or two, it will be reassigned to tying up bundles of brush or something along those lines. I won't be using this for 'close quarter' work, that's for sure.

Expensive but worth it - 04/05/2015

Like most Petzl gear, the cost is a little more up front but, it pays off in the long run. Lasts a while and glides great. Super slick through the trees. You do have to be careful when flaking it so that it won't tangle.

Reviewer: Leon
This throwline runs really nicely through the canopy and has low friction over branches and through crotches. That's about the only nice thing I can say about it, though. I gave this stuff six months of use hoping again and again that it just needed time to break in. And again and again it disappointed me with huge rats nests of snarls flying up into the tree. OK, flake the stuff nicely back in to the cube in the best way I can, throw again, and bingo another snarl. Again and again. Nothing like an obstinately tangled throwline to try your patience. Maybe I just got a bad batch.
