Weaver Leather Arborist Throw Weight - 12 oz Nylon Throw Bag for Tree Work

Overview

The Weaver Leather Arborist Throw Weight is a compact 12 oz nylon throw bag designed for climbers and line-setters. Its aerodynamic shape, combined with the dynamic action of the #8 shot, aims to deliver smoother, more controlled throws through tree canopies. Designed to minimize snagging on branches, this weight supports efficient line placement during climbs and rigging tasks.

Key benefits in the field

• The moving action of the #8 shot helps create a balanced payload that can reduce hanging up on branch tips and knots during a toss.
• The coated lead shot sits inside a latex pouch, helping keep the shot contained and reducing environmental exposure while handling.
• A 7/8 inch nickel-plated ring is box-stitched to the weight, providing a secure attachment point for a rope or poly pilot line.
• The red weight is screen printed for quick identification, even in dim or cluttered canopies.

Durable, American-made gear

Made in the United States, this weight emphasizes sturdy construction and reliable performance in demanding tree work scenarios. The Cordura-style shell offers rugged resilience, while the nickel-plated ring adds long-lasting attachment reliability during repeated use.

Practical use and care

Use this weight with compatible lines and throw bags to establish anchor points, determine line paths, or create a controlled launch over branches. In daily use, the weight’s balanced feel helps you judge distance more confidently. After use, store in a dry, ventilated area to keep the latex pouch supple and ready for next time.
