I think there is an advantage to not using a hoop stringer. The hoop stringers put all the fish to one side and make it lopsided on your belt.

The Cable stringer w/ Kill spike seems to have solved this problem balancing the fish so as not to make one side too heavy. You simply shoot the fish with your speargun, brain it (kill it) with the sharp point of the stringer, then put the stringer through its eyes or its gills and around your back. I think you can carry more fish this way as well because the Cable is quite long
