I use a big Dan caribiner on my climb line to advance like that if I can't get a good tie in with a throw line. It's heavy enough for the job. Just watch out you don't nail yourself with it.
Gaffing out sucks and hurts but it's nothing to be afraid of. Happens more often to those that fear it. Once you get used to being on spurs, you can catch yourself before the second one slips.
