I'm not an arborist, but I usually have some branches to remove, clean, etc. after a storm. Over the past week, we had 3 Nor'easter in NJ, and I had to get a few rather large oaks branches removed. They were broken, just dangling in the tree branches.
In the past, I took a 3 oz lead fishing sinker and flung it up and over with some kite string, or the like. It worked most of the time, but I always worry about that lead weight cracking my skull open, even with a hardhat!
I purchased this this past week to get a line up into the broken branches. Gave it a good swing, a few tosses, and got lucky...the weight went up and over, the line was smooth as silk, and slid nicely, did not hang up on the oak bark, and then I was able to tie and pull the rigging rope right up. Yanked the branches out with my truck
The weight bag stitching looks ok, D ring if good. Line is smooth. One complaint is the mess when I tried to untangle the rope out of the bag, and straighten the twists, etc. It was a twisted, knotted mess. Eventually got it all straight, put the line into small bucket, and it was ready for use. The line is a bit stiff, but I expect it will soften with a few more tosses. The color is easy to see when there are no leaves. No idea yet if I'll see it in the leaves.
