NRS Kayak Polypro Compact Rescue Throw Bag

This fits the standard length and type of throw rope - 70ft of polypro. Polypropylene is necessary because it is a floating line and the bag is to be tossed past the swimmer. One drawback to polypro is that UV light destabilizes it and should be inspected every six months.

This is the NRS Compact Rescue Throw Bag, not the pro model. This model has the poly rope where the Pro model has the Dyneema.

I use this bag on my little Pack cat on rivers down in Mexico. It certainly has seen it fair share of abuse, getting drug on travertine dams and through pokey plants on portage. The bag is soild construction and has lasted much longer than my last rope. Certainly spend some time tossing this bag around the park before hitting the water with it. I also agree with Kelly and jreeder, it's all about the stuff to get the distance.

If you stuff this rope correctly before you throw it, it's easy to get great distance and accuracy. If you stuff it wrong, it will get tangled-- but that's not the rope's fault.
These things last forever, too. I definitely wouldn't go boating without one.

Again to shadow Kelly, be sure you stuff the rope into the bag correctly, this will make all the difference in the world for distance. One thing to keep in mind when you have a throw rope on board, always make sure you have a river knife for when you get in those tricky situations and need to cut your rope! So far my throw bag has had over 150 days on the river and other than fading still going super strong!
