FTC Stiffline 1.6mm Throw Line
Up your technical game and go to a higher launching level with FTC Stiffline. FTC engineers designed this two-component throwline with a highly resistant Dyneema cover that slips across rough bark and a super-rigid nylon core to avoid knots and time wasted untangling!
This line is rigid, resistant to wear and doesn't knot. Dyneema has the best gliding coefficient for textile fibres, and it can be particularly useful for adjusting the rope position and scraping of bark.
Stiffline is smoother and lighter, to reach the highest areas with the littlest effort. Its nylon core gives it a certain stiffness, so it will not coil as much as other lines, and it helps throwing further. Stiffline features very solid material with a long lifespan.

Smooth but lacks strength
Used this throwline about a dozen times or so. I agree it is super smooth and runs great in a tree. However, it does not hold up long enough for the price. Barely put my weight on it (180 lbs) to get it unstuck, and it snapped on me.
My favorite throwline to date
This line runs very well through dense conifer canopies and has increased my vertical range throwing by hand. I saw someone hand throw this line with a small weight to set and anchor at 120’ in a sugar pine.
