New iki Jimi project

So I have a desire to stream line my process from pulling the trigger to fish in the float/boat. I currently use my calf knife to brain the fish, usually while on the shaft and then, remove from shaft and swim to boat or pull in float.

I have tried in the past using the shaft to iki the fish. I don't like this. First I don't like to take the fish off without him being dead and two the shaft has nothing to give grip and is unwieldy while underwater.
I want a quick draw way to dispatch fish.

I had this idea. Make a small and low profile iki. I came up with this. You loop a finger through the loop and you get a lot of control and can apply a lot of force.

I am thinking about putting a small glob of shape lock on the top but I don't think it is necessary. I am going to either pour a new pinch weight and drill out a home to slide this in Or use a bungee around a weight to hold it there

I also have a small knife on my belt for emergencies I am going to see if I can find a way to mount it there.

I also though about clipping it five feet behind me on my floatline.

I was hitting against various things like fence posts and thick plastic garbage cans. I think with my gloves on it will get through fish skulls with little problem.

I won't know until I try

I hear that xan. My thinking is that I don't like to take my knife out because I have a habit of losing them. And since a knife does so much more than just dispatch fish, I'd rather minimize the use. I may end up agreeing with you after I try. It really depends on how successful I am at attaching it in an ultra low profile way.

Nice idea.

What does Iki means? I tried looking up but did not find anything.

Iki Jimi I believe translates into brain spike

Quote from marginatus

As already mentioned, it reduces the probability of loosing the knife and the knife can stay sharp for when it's really important...

I use my stringer...

If I carried a stringer that would be ideal. In my waters I cannot have fish hanging off my waist

I had an idea. I think I am going to glue a thin strip of a mousepad onto my left forearm. The neoprene is rubber lined. So if I glue the grippy side down to make a very small pocket, the friction of the rubber should hold the spike in place.
Anyone ever glue onto a suit? Does it make it stiff or brittle? I aqua seal the best glue to use?

Awesome guys. Thanks. Xan. Can you spare a 6x1.5" strip?

That is exactly what I needed to know
