Ok, what I'm talking about is super thin throwline like Zing-It vs. the heavier stuff like blackline.

Blackline sure is nice to handle, just grab it and throw. Also very easy on the hands when pulling rope.

Zing-It requires a slip knot to grab it but it slithers pretty nicely through the branches. It can get a little out of control with tangles etc.

Which do you prefer or do you chose thin for one situation and heavy for another?

I've been using the 1.75 mm Zing It for quite a while and I wouldn't use anything but ZI or one of it's cousins. Once you understand it's personality quirks it is the BEST! Throws further with less energy and takes a smaller bag to pull down. That translates into higher sets.

My main bag is an 8 oz. Harrison Rocket on one end and a pointy 12 ox on the other. Harrison is used to set, 12 is used to manipulate if needed.

Strong limbs and single ropes!
