3. is entirely about using Aura as Pyrrha used her semblance, provided the line doesn't touch you a current running through the line is so much wasted output, Bola's are thrown weapons and therefore are uncontrollable after they've left the users hands, so they are nothing like Nolan's baton which he can manipulate and shut off as needed. Remote control, as in a technological device allowing you to turn them on and off remotely. Super simple. The technology exists, they used remote control for the rocket lockers via scrolls, remember? All you need is a wrist device with a button on it, or some sort of tactile control in a pair of gloves. Gravity Dust based control systems are also an option as we've scene with Maria's scythes.

Rebin: You're just a normal human, though. You don't have superpowers and years of training; using what anyone other than the highest grade of olypic athletes as a baseline for what a Huntsman can or cannot do is kind of silly. And even then, even those who have yet to complete their training display far greater physical ability than any human in our world.

That said, the person using said bolas is going to be on that same level or higher, so it comes down to individual skillsets; Semblance, their own weapons/equipment, and what sort of more advanced Aura control techniques they may or may not have learned.
