I'm trying to restring my Dipole up in a Pine (the tree has grown
about 10 ft, and the rope needs replacing) so I got out my trusty
Surgical tubing wrist rocket and a 1oz egg weight tied to my 15# test
fishing rod/reel (only using the bottom eye).

No matter how far I pulled back I got about 2/3s of the way up. Im
estimating that is about the 35 ft level.

Shouldn't a wrister go farther ???? need bigger weight ?

Suggestions.

Sounds like a bigger weight would help.

depends... shoot the weight without the fish line and see how far it goes,
that is the max you can get... if that's not enough try new tubes, those
things do age and lose stretch... or longer tubes. for more height without
the line try less weight and see if that gets where you need.

then add the fishing line and see if that drags it down too much... if it
does you need less drag or lighter line. either take the line out of the
reel and let it spool free or unroll it on a smooth surface so it doesn't
have to spin the roll.
