The idea of all the home made devices is great and its fantastic that guys have been trying to find ways to release these fish for years now.
I personally have not and have not needed too as I do not continue to fish an area that is over producing a species
That being said myself or my company do not float fish looking for other fish. If I get to the point where this becomes an issue I leave that area and onto other things.
I have not used any other devise besides the above mentioned and it has work flawlessly for myself and my staff.
In reading about devises that MAY work PL and making them yourself and taking the chance of not releasing that fish correctly over $80-$100 bucks seems narrow minded in the big picture of conservation and money spent on fishing gear in a season.
If you think about it and take care of your gear, most of it you have for life. So $80-$100 over the next 10 years.
That's $10 bucks a year for a descending devise and helping conserve our fish stocks, seems pretty cheap in the big picture.
Everybody to their own, but when their gone their gone.
