Be Prepared For Whatever The Water Sends Your Way With Kayak Throw Bags & Ropes! You never head out for a day on the water expecting an emergency rescue will take place - but if you take kayaking seriously enough, you understand the reality of this possibility. And, you prepare yourself accordingly - by keeping a supply of kayak throw bags or ropes on hand for a worst case scenario. You should always have one of these in your boat.

In an emergency situation, a rescuer can toss the throw bag to a swimmer from a nearby river bank or even from your boat and then use the line to tow or pull the swimmer to safety.

Kayak throw ropes of both materials are available in lengths of 75 feet and up and come in 5/16” and 3/8” diameters. Find The Best Collection Of Kayak Throw Ropes and Bags At Outdoorplay!
