thanks for pointing out there was more than one link there, i read the first one last night. i just watched the video.
i wonder if it would work as well if the cones where stitched to webbing instead of woven in to the line. it would be much faster to stitch than go thru threading and knotting 600 tails in to the line ( based on 100 cones ). i just looked 1 inch webbing has a normal strength of 4000 lbs, so the leader would still need to be double braid. new england ropes is 8500 lbs for 1/2 inch
i also had a retrieval idea that may or may not work. if every other cone had a small ring stitched to it and a line that was a few feet longer then the whole rig was run thru the rings and attached to the last cone. when the smaller line was pulled it would collapse the whole thing on to itself. using double braid as the main line would make sure it would not twist much or at all
