its a case of finding whatever works for you as an individual i guess. I personally just do the basic rig like most SA spearo's. I'm probably just use to it by now, but i find it works well, nothing fancy dont have to worry bout things breaking or unhooking etc. Im sure If we applied our minds to it there could be a more conveniant solution, though Mr X if I do shore dives im lucky enough to know exactly what my deepest dive will be and I have floatline ropes with the exact lengths for each shore dive. If we go by boat its generally not a problem since we throw the fish in the boat to avoid atracting sharks. To me its a case of not using a 30m rope on a 15m Max dive.

Since shorter harder ropes are easier to manage and you tangle less. and to pull in a 15m float line takes about 4 seconds :P
