The Triberion 16-ounce arborist throw line kit pairs a long placement line with the heaviest bag in this product group. Extra bag mass can help the line return through leafy crowns or over branches where a lighter weight stalls, although it also requires more throwing effort and careful control. The system is for installing a separately rated access line from the ground, not for supporting a climber.

Why choose this product
- Heavier 16-ounce bag provides more return force after clearing a target branch.
- A 166-foot line supports tall-tree placement and retrieval planning.
- Slick surface helps reduce drag compared with ordinary utility cord.
- Weight-and-line kit provides a ready combination for trained tree-care work.
Best uses
- Dense canopies where a lighter throw bag has difficulty dropping back to the ground.
- High-limb pilot-line placement before installing rated arborist equipment.
- Ground-based tree-access preparation in a controlled work zone.
- Throw-line practice by users who can safely manage the heavier bag.
How to decide if it fits your project
Choose 16 ounces when reliable return through foliage is more important than minimum throwing effort. A heavier bag can generate greater impact and fatigue, so 12, 14, or 15 ounces may suit open crowns or repeated practice better. Match the weight to technique, canopy density, branch surface, and line friction rather than assuming the heaviest option is always best.
Use and care
Flake clean line into a throw container, dry the line and bag fully, and keep them away from fuels, oils, and sharp tools. Before each use, inspect the bag seams, connection point, line surface, and knots. Retire torn, heavily abraded, contaminated, or uncertain components. Do not leave a stuck bag or line unattended in a tree.
Important safety note
Clear a generous exclusion area because a 16-ounce projectile can cause serious injury or damage. Check for electrical conductors, deadwood, people, animals, vehicles, and structures. Wear appropriate head and eye protection, and never climb or rig on the throw line.
Frequently asked questions
When is a 16-ounce bag useful?
Its extra mass can help pull line back through foliage or across a branch where a lighter bag does not descend reliably.
Is a heavier bag always easier to use?
No. It takes more effort, increases impact, and may be unnecessary in an open canopy. Technique and tree conditions should guide the choice.
Can the throw line support a climber?
No. It is only a pilot line for placing separately rated climbing or rigging equipment.
What hazards should be checked first?
Look for power lines, dead branches, people, traffic, glass, animals, and anything else within the possible throw and fall zone.
