Nobody tosses high enough. Buy a sling-shot, a spinning reel, some =
little hose-clamps and some 3/4 oz lead fishing weights (helmet and =
safety glasses if you choose). Mine spinning reel cost $4.95 and failed =
last weekend after 15 useful years. I got over two, 50 foot trees (20 =
feet apart) on the last "toss" that reel was up to. Gonna buy another =
one this week, just in case. Pull masons twine up with the monofilament, =
(for keeps, if temporary) and pull the "real" line up wid dat.
