Ok cool sounds good. I think I'll just get some weight and then add or take away. Just like you said trial and error. Thanks a ton you guys have been a ton of help! I can't wait to get out and spearfish!

Thanks Dan!

Very nice clean work. May it serve you well. Where's the band?

The spear tips that I am talking about have a wider head than the floppers which sit down in the "shadow" of the blades so to speak. I have shot heavy scaled groupers with these tips and punched right through them behind the gill plate as that area…

Pete, incidentally I was on a dive last week and shot a parrot fish, perfect just behind the gill plate, should have been in the bag. But.... the flopper did not engage and the fish got off. This puzzled me, until i pulled my shaft up. My spear (with…
