Gordy's on the money there. Choke it up and sling vertically.
If it is a collection of drill rod (similar dowel shape as in photo) and you can stack and lift them together, then choke both ends equally to one nice fat 'D' shackle. From there onto the remote hook and make sure you have a swivel somewhere in mix. They are happy to spin for the whole 1.5hrs but without a swivel it will be dramatic.
Now, this one time at band camp I slung a 16ft alloy boat and holy $#it does that ever make for a fun story for the kids!
