Where Am I wrote: i was recently (reliably) informed that the modern thinking was that prussics are bad (not to be used) on standard throwlines, (because of the melting points of the line) and unnecessary anyway... | Not true, the melting point only really becomes an issue if the prussic is sliding along the throwline, in which case you didn't put enough turns on the prussic, used the wrong type of prussic or the didn't match the prussic cord diameter to the rope diameter. |
