Going to finally get a bigshot...what is the preferable size/style of throw bag/throw line to get with it?
...With the bark on both those, I find the light bags too often don't want to come back down easily, you end up "strumming" the throw line the whole way down, so I go with 12 and 14 oz bags.

I am also getting away from the specialty throw lines and going to Dacron offshore fishing trolling line. Its cheaper, smaller diameter (so goes further), heavily waxed (slick), and I like the breaking strength. I occasionaly get the zing-it tangled in a top. The breaking strength is so high on the zing-it I have to break out a limb or hitch the line to my Jeep to get it down. The fishing line is strong enough to do the job, but I can break it out if it gets hung up without pulling the tree down. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/s..._20099_151011003_151000000_151011000_151-11-3
10 oz if you shooting for the sky and 14oz for the rest.
Just curious, Why settle on one weight? I got all of them. I would just get various weights and then you will figure it out. They don't cost that much. And get an extra line for another shot.
