: For the last 12 years I have just used a 6-inch plastic spring clamp from
: Harbor Freight with a hole drilled in the handle and a poly-pro (floating)
: line attached on one end and a small brass spring clip on the boat end.
: Works great! I can't imagine why anything else would work any better.

I think I will make one like yours Scott since I already have spring clips and rope. Glad to know they work so well.
