This ain't exactly how it should work - as you describe it a counter ballast pulling the line up would just release it and bring only the lanyard to the surface, leaving you in the deep enjoying the fish party
. Maybe I just misunderstood it?
I use this one:

but would not recommend it as it is, because it has no tubing. The velcro strap is just a band with velcro, it goes roughly twice around your wrist, the velcro should cover most of its surface, so that it attaches firmly. It should not be able to release by pulling on the cord in any direction, even if you pull extremely hard. Ok, maybe just before you arm/leg tears of
.
You can put it down pretty fast by opening the velcro with your hand. The one I have has the end of the velcro marked with a bright yellow ribbon so that its easy to spot where you have to grab it.
