I'm absolutely over all of these overpriced descending devices that barely work, so I decided to make my own.

O had a small pail from Lowes that finally busted, so I took the handle off and straightened the wire.

I made some bends and added swivels and slightly sharpened the tip.

I brought it out yesterday and I can say without a doubt, the best descending device I've used.  Fish stayed on during the descent, and everyone came off at the desired depth.

I should market these.  lol

Looks good! I have the similar style and I generally like it.

Here I thought I came up with a new idea from this smaller one I was using the past couple of years... but I just did a search and see that it's only an original idea from my head but not everyone else's.
