As to the reason: to prevent accident loss & to allow the shooting hand to be freed up - to, for example, pick-up a crab.
Presumably the counter argument is that you could get entangled (the main reason I am not currently attached to my gun or float line)?

So whats the problem in pulling your float closer and stringing the fish?

Good point covert. I did recently sigh when I realised how far away my float had gotten by the time I came to string a fish (the tide was ripping through). I was tired and almost back to shore. Mind you, the thought of unclipping & re-clipping the Orca clip of a speed stringer might be equally unappealing. I don't shoot many fish and I'm trying to pare down the gear -- so maybe I'll forego the speed stringer for now. I usually use the stringer spike to dispatch fish anyway (unless the float is 20 or 30m away!).
