That's probably the most common method. A variation is to use a bicycle inner tube to cover the chain, and zip ties to secure the chain in the inner tube. Midtnkayakangler uses a retractable dog leash to attach the chain to his kayak. Be sure the leash is a cord-style, a ribbon style will be affected by the moving water and twist, vibrate, etc. I think Harbor Freight has a heavy duty 25' leash, whereas most other ones are 16' in length.
