Not yet.

I had made something similar to the SFD using brass rod, but when I went for a last rockfishing trip of 2014, of course I forgot it. I found myself scrambling to improvise to get a little guy back down. (I failed, BTW. I got him down a ways, after he'd been out too long, but he floated back up).

That inspired me to figure out the best way to tie an inverted hook, so I could always make something usable on the water.
