The rope feels substantial and has been tied into the bag using a Fig 8 knot. Plenty of tail has been left so ensure that it cannot pull through.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The free end of the rope has been wrapped in black tape. When this particular length was cut the melted end was quite rough\/sharp. A few seconds with a lit match sorted this out. I have another Nookie bag in for review and the cut ends of the rope are exactly the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever I get a new bag (even before I buy it) I like to unpack the rope and then repack. Some manufacturers employ special rope packing ninjas that are able to pack throwlines so tight that the rope always fits. But when I try it&#8217;s tough work getting the bag packed enough so it is easy to fasten. This is thankfully not the case at Nookie as the rope repacks easily and the bag fastens up without fuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2oCZkqJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"30769\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/nookie-hornet-18m-rescue-throwline-first-look\/unsponsored-nookie-hornet-2639\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/unsponsored-nookie-Hornet-2639.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone XS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1559311850&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.25&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0111111111111&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"unsponsored-nookie-Hornet-2639\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/unsponsored-nookie-Hornet-2639-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/unsponsored-nookie-Hornet-2639-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Nookie Hornet Throwline - Review\" class=\"wp-image-30769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/unsponsored-nookie-Hornet-2639-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/unsponsored-nookie-Hornet-2639-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/unsponsored-nookie-Hornet-2639-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/unsponsored-nookie-Hornet-2639-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.unsponsored.co.uk\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/unsponsored-nookie-Hornet-2639.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Nookie Hornet Throwline &#8211; Review<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RRP of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2oCZkqJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Nookie Hornet (opens in a new tab)\">Nookie Hornet<\/a> is just under \u00a340 which is pretty good deal given how well the bag has been put together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have never been a huge fan of mesh panels of any size in a throw bag but this one is pretty small and its seems pretty tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">18m throw length<br>8mm floating line with core<br>9kN load strength<br>Great \u2018easy pack\u2019 grab loop<br>Quick and accurate throw<br>Compact &amp; light mini bag with Enduro Mesh contrast drain<br>Foam wall buoyancy<br>Failsafe dual release closure with Velcro<br>500D Cordura reinforced bag base<br>Retro reflective piping and graphics<br>Anti corrosive press studs and eyelet<br>Belt mountable with two webbing loops on rear<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A throwline is a must have piece of equipment for all kayakers and canoeists.
