Weaver Nesting Throwline Storage Bag

The Weaver nesting throwline storage bag is designed so bags fit inside one another, letting you carry a spare throw line or a second color without adding bulk. Each line stays in its own bag, so they do not tangle together.

Why throw line needs its own storage

Climbers who set lines often end up carrying two throw lines: one in use and one spare for when the first hangs up, or a second line for setting a redirect or isolating a limb. Nesting bags let you keep both lines separate without carrying two full-size bags. Pull out the one you need and the other stays packed.

Thin throw line tangles faster than anything else in the truck. A loose pile turns into a bird's nest the moment you try to throw from it, and untangling it eats time at the start of every job. Keeping the line in a container that opens wide and lets it flake out cleanly is the easiest fix. Compare options in our gear storage section.

Throwing from it and caring for it

Feed the line in loosely rather than wrapping it, and keep the end tied off inside so it cannot be pulled away. Set the bag on the ground a step back from where you throw so the line peels off the top without catching your feet or brush.

Keep throw line dry and out of the sun between jobs, and away from fuel and bar oil. Before setting a climbing line, check the throw line and weight for cuts or damage, and keep the area under the throw clear of people.

Using two different line colors helps when both lines are in the tree at once, since you can tell at a glance which one to pull.
