WTB Euro shaft 60-66"

I have a 160cm Rob Allen shaft with mini fins which is roughly 63 inches.. But it's 7.5mm
PM me if interested

I'm not sure.. it's a little over a year old and used only once.. It has absolutely no rust though. I also just found a 150cm Rabitech 7mm shaft that I could let go as well.. It has 2 notches but I only use dyneema wishbones and it hasn't torn them up.

If you only want the tabs only because you want to use dyneema wishbones, you can do that pretty easily with a notched shaft as well. I used the "edge" wishbone inserts from Florida Fredivers on my notched JBL shaft for two years before I built my first gun and they held up great. The wishbone material needs to be in the 1.5mm range, but you can also do that using the sheet-bend knot that many people use. Either way, it just takes a needle file, some 1/8" cord, and metal polish to take the edge off the slots.

Of course, if you want a shark finned shaft for other reasons, like the attachment of the shooting line, then the above is obviously useless and disregard my irrelevant rambling!

And how do you know about Ron's sea corner Jeff?

I may possibly, inadvertently, have run across the link somewhere else, in a moment of weakness.

I like the feel of his site. I stumbled on it a year ago looking for info on the Beuchat Mundial knife. He actually had a video of it which helped me with the decision to buy. Has good information like the link you posted. Actually I learned everything I know about spearfishing from Ron's website. I'm still waiting for him to put up a pictorial on how shoot goat fish and then I will be complete

BTW I think he worked that notch a little too far..

I know how that goes.

Isn't it also possible to drill a new line hole through the shaft on the larger diameters? Outside the mech, but preferably behind the last notch? I have no experience with Euro style guns, so I'm just mindlessly repeating something I thought I saw somewhere.

Drill press, slow speed, tap magic or threading oil, center punch the start. Carbide bit preferred, but high speed steel will work if it's a good one, and not cheap junk.
