   What is the highest elevation you can get the line up and over with a 
slingshot/reel combo? With just the slingshot and the 60# test line 
pulled off in front of me with out a reel I can get up to about 90'. Can 
you get up and over a 120' tree using  a reel with the slingshot? What's 
the best weight fishing line?
       73 and I remain,
