Thanks.

I was half interested in doing the same thing but wanted to check out off the shelf options.

Since you've had the handle off, how strong is the handle tang? (ie does your float line attach to the base of the handle or to the end of the butt pad)?

The reason I ask is because I've lost guns before when the handle has broken off due to the line being attached to the base of the handle.
