    I like it. And I say why not? If you're out of string and in a pinch, it'll get the job done!

    I used a couple of stainless steel fish leaders once in a pinch worked good and lasted a long time

    I'd say it was Red Green but he's usually a little more ambitious than this simple fix.

    I very well may give this a try. Even if it is good for nothing but a laugh, why not? It could turn out to be a great thing and save people some dollars.

    I had considered welding a chunk of chain on the shaft. Give you long wear with flexibility to not shatter or snap. Might be lethal if I used this without adult supervision.

    They have chain type attachments commercially available.
    The zip ties look like a good idea
