Well that would definitely work well, I have something with a longer lead attached to the syringe in mind. Maybe crimping the float to the syringe thru a hole drilled in the finger lands using some 40# mono. I keep scissors on the bow tied to a light 24in piece of bungee. Several pairs have gone overboard hurrying to net a good fish. Pliers too. Using the small bass boats their bows have very limited space.
