Speed Needle

[Adon]

Hello,
I will be getting my hands on a 'speed needle'.
I have never seen one of these rigged, how do you use it and where and how is it attached to your gear.
I have a feeling it will be attached to a float line and float set up, where?
Thanks,
adon

Found the answer, and for all those that would like to know:
Speed rig
Here the spear gun is connected to a buoy via a float rope. After spearing a fish, the spearfisher detaches the float rope and uses a speed stick (a metal spike) attached to the float rope to thread the fish onto the float rope through its gills. The fish will then gradually slide up the float rope as the diver swims until it rests underneath the buoy. When shooting larger fish, the diver can let go of his gun and play the fish from the float line, giving the fish more room to tire and preventing it from tearing off the spear or dragging the spearfisher under the water.
