SAWPOD Ltd presents the THROWPOD, an aerodynamic lead-free throw weight designed to facilitate line placement in trees. This innovative product uses tungsten powder from reprocessed sieve residues, offering an eco-friendly alternative to lead-filled canvas bags. Tungsten, even as waste, retains a high price, hence the cost of the THROWPOD.
Key Features:
Lead-free and made with recycled materials.
Its missile shape allows for height gain and easy passage through the canopy, reducing the risk of getting stuck.
Made in the UK from durable rubber and equipped with a marine-grade stainless steel eyelet.
Fluorescent tip for better visibility and an eyelet suitable for all throwing styles.
Compatible with various attachment methods, including bowline and quick-release clove hitch knots.
Recommended Usage Methods:
- The large eyelet is suitable for all throwing styles - one-handed or two-handed throws. The most secure attachment method is to make a bowline at the end of your line and secure it with a lark's head knot onto the eyelet. This is not the most streamlined method but is certainly the safest.
- The simplest way to attach your rope is to connect your spliced eye to the Throwpod with a small carabiner. For a tighter anchor, simply tie several half hitches to the raw end of your climbing rope! One way to attach the pod is with a quick-release clove hitch knot, which facilitates a faster transition to tying the line to the rope, but be careful that it doesn't come untied as this method is the most streamlined. The SAWPOD THROWPOD 8 oz is designed for arborists seeking a practical, eco-friendly, and efficient solution for their line placement needs. For optimal performance, attach your rope with a small carabiner or half hitches, and always wear a helmet when throwing.
