[TowerTalk] EZ-Hang

[ROBERT CARROLL]

Lew-

I have used that method and it works well--except when I am in grass and
have to lay the line on the grass.  Invariably it grabs a stalk on the way
up and ruins the shot.  On cement, dirt, etc I don't have a problem with the
method.

   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,
