Perhaps I'm just easily impressed, but I think this is brilliant!
Spinning the reel just seems like it would be SO much more fun (not to mention easier) than yanking the rode down through the pipe one armlength at a time.

Hmmm, I just feed mine through after I have hauled the anchor and all onto the deck. Do you really have to pull it down from below?

I don't have to, but it's much faster.
Really only an issue when I take the boy fishing and we anchor in 50'+, the usual lunch or overnight anchoring is only in 10-15' of water.
