FWIW, I use 8lb monofiliament line and a 3oz fishing weight, and like
others, cast it over the tree with a fishing pole. Wristrockets can't
compare.

Also, in response to another poster, I have never had a fishing weight wrap
around a tree branch as long as it is allowed to fall to the earth. In
other words, allow the line to freely flow out until the weight has dropped
to the ground.

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.
