So you tie the line directly to the hook part of the hook, crimp the barb down, hook the fish and send it down with some weight on that swivel, then pull the hook free once you've got about 100 yards or so of line out?

Yea...so simple...you slip the hook in the top lip of the fish and drop him as deep as you feel necessary, then just give the line a yank and he'll pop right off...
