This is very similar to the one I have. I keep a torpedo weight tied on the bottom and leave it accessible next to my seat. On the rigs I'm fishing, the weight is connected via snap-swivel. So It's a quick swap from my weight to the descender when I have to send one back down. Doesn't always go as smoothly as I'd like, but getting better with practice!

Jim- Do you have any idea how strict they are in regards to having one tied on to a rod/reel at all times vs. having one ready to swap like this? Thanks for all the info by the way. Much appreciated.

The release gear can also be found for free with some good instructional videos if one does some web searches.
