I think that for most of them the elastic band method will be my only option. 75% of them are the old tow bar style and not the newer "pin" that can be removed.
I pulled the pin on an old style flat tow bar just to see if I could. It came out easy enough. It seems to still be waterproof, and the slot is big enough to get a leader through. I haven't fished it yet. I believe some sport guys pull them from the brass ring, but go even faster.
