Talk about a newbie question

I was demo-ing it for Jack Graham (the grip twist guy). Not sure if he ever went in production. It's basically a vinyl coated 300lb spectra (like the spearos use) with heavy ass swivels on either end through which the carbiners go. The spike is aluminum pipe cut in half lengthwise and trimmed to a dull point. Works great as a bottle opener/cat food can hole-puncher as well. I like it because I can put multiple fish on it if necessary and the clips make for quick and easy attachment and release. Todd had showed me a similar idea with rope and bamboo for halibut, also works great.
