I made a tow rope system based on the Salamander two line (45' and 15')
with a couple of changes based on the list discussion some time back.
The bags are independent and are velcroed on the belt to work as a throw
bag, the belt is much heavier duty, the rope is thinner making the bags
less bulky, I could choose the colors, and it cost less than 20.00 US. 
It is very simple to lash bungie on to the cord to provide the shock
value, if you have any questions how, write me and I will send a digital
image.
