The Triberion 14-ounce arborist throw line kit sits near the center of the available weight range. It gives many users enough mass for dependable return while remaining easier to accelerate than the 15- or 16-ounce options. The long polyester line supports ground-based placement over suitable limbs so a separately rated climbing or rigging line can be installed afterward.

- Property and forestry work performed with appropriate knowledge and controls.
How to decide if it fits your project
Fourteen ounces is a strong all-around starting point when you do not consistently need the return force of a 16-ounce bag or the low effort of a 12-ounce bag. Consider target height, foliage, bark texture, wind, line friction, and throwing method. If conditions vary, carrying adjacent weights can save time and prevent forcing an unsuitable setup.
Use and care
Keep the line clean and flaked into a dedicated container. Avoid stepping on it or dragging it through oil, grit, or sharp debris. Dry all parts before storage. Inspect the bag seams and connector along with every section of line before use, and replace equipment showing cuts, excessive fuzzing, melted areas, contamination, or an insecure attachment.
Important safety note
Secure the work area and never throw when a person, animal, vehicle, building opening, electrical conductor, or dead limb could enter the trajectory. Wear appropriate head and eye protection. This system positions line only; it must never carry a person or rigged load.
Frequently asked questions
Is 14 ounces a good general-purpose weight?
For many users it offers a useful middle ground between easy acceleration and reliable return, but tree conditions and technique remain decisive.
How is it different from the 15-ounce kit?
The one-ounce difference slightly changes throw effort and return force. Some users notice it most during repeated throws or in foliage.
What is the 166-foot line used for?
It crosses the target branch and then pulls a separately rated access or rigging line into place.
Can it be used around utility lines?
No. Maintain professional clearance from all electrical conductors and choose another work method when safe separation is uncertain.
