I see that a "Taimen 1400" was made to a special order, this gun requiring the stepped ladder loader to charge it! That is a very long pneumatic speargun, which is a big stretch on a gun originally designed for shooting in thickets and reeds. However the…

Using the stepped ladder loader is shown here for cocking a very long "Taimen". Note the supplementary horn on the muzzle to hook the loader bar.

A new handle for the "Taimen" has been shown recently here:

The rake angle and shape of the grip handle has been changed with perhaps the most noticeable difference being the flattened angular lower section of the finger guard for…

Makes me hungry just looking at them!

from 60 to 70 jumps from the boat made while following the dolphins (spinner) in about 3 to 4 hours offshore action
4 bands gun loaded
about 10% chance to see yellowfin tuna while jumping and diving to about 60/ 70 feet depth... 10% which means one in…

The Tunas certainly give you a short shot window with their fast swimming. I note that the divers are entering the water with the guns charged for shooting which is understandable under those conditions as the fish are always moving with their prey. A…

Good video. 60lb?

I'm in Crimea now. Waiting for warm weather....Do you know any good spots down here? I was in Yalta in October and looks like some nice drop offs along the rocks. But damn....I'm used to tropical water. What thickness wetsuit do you…

Great stalking and shooting mate. Prost

Our city used to be called Stalingrad, during the second world war, the Germans flooded many ships in the Volga river, on this at the bottom of a lot of things

(Quote from Dan)

Thought that they may have been angels as part of some larger grouping. When the Soviet Union trashed all the churches decades back the items were smashed or thrown into rivers and these could have been down there a very long time and…

It's a common Russian family name. But both being spearfishermen is quite a coincidence.

Any relation to the late founder of "Taimen" spearguns as he has exactly the same name, middle name excepted maybe (Mikhail Dmitrievich Kuznetsov)? Nice fish capture!

You need to buy either a 150 cm shaft (40 cm overhang is the standard) or a 140 cm shaft.

The Comanches come standard with 6.5 mm shaft. If you want to go with a 7 mm shaft, you better shorten it by 10 cm at least. Aiming will be different. It takes a…

Nice video. It looks like you need some more lead to be buoyancy negative.

Question: Why don't you aim the head of the pikes? They are still in the bottom. Probably the cold water affects them.
