Flying the chute without a pole?

Are there any other devices like the ATN Tacker for flying a
symmetrical spinnaker without a pole? I seem to remember something
called a Spinnaker Guy or something like that....?
Comments on using the chute in such a manner? I have a sweet drifter,
but I also just got a gorgeous chute to play with. Yes...I do have a
pole, but I was wondering about flying without one on occasion.

I made my tacker.
A short piece of towing strap and a couple of 2" D rings.
Took half an hour to sew up (my Brother couldn't do it, so
I did them by hand)
As for the Sym?
Use the pole.
Asymmetricals can fly without a pole, but I doubt that a sym type
would stay open all that well.
