No, I use it with a floatline and a home made float. Actually made by "Botes Caribe" a RIB manufacturer from Venezuela; tough, good and not too expensive. It is made with neoprene-hypalon Cilider shape material and has two stainless steel "D" rings and a good valve. Just what I need.
Last Sunday nice pargos!

On the other hand, Dogthoot snappers in Cuba are called "Pargo Jocú" :rolleyes1:
I've heard some folks call them Jocú here as well.
-
Acá le dicen pargo dientón o pargo perro. Los hay mulatos, rojos, clavellinos, coconacos y dientones.
-
Hay un pargo que le dicen en el Golfo de México Huachinango y es delicioso
-
El más buscado sinembargo es el Pargo Amargo ...;)

In Cuba when somebody says pargo they are referring to a mutton snapper. Pargo can also be used to refer to other snapper species but in such cases it is followed by another name like this:
Mutton snapper = Pargo
Dog snapper (Lutjanus Jocu) aka Yellow snapper = Pargo Jocu
Schoolmaster = Pargo Caji
Pargo amargo = My first user name on a spearfishing forum :good:Again beautiful doggies Marco. I've yet to land my first one.

Los pargos son amargos ya que matan muchos buzos ...Those are some murderous fishes around here, my compadre Sergio niño was hired to recover a sorry ass diver who was killed by a pargo "black out" in Las arenas, a lot of people has lost teir lives and their gear to the killer pargos ... One tough, hugly fish, my favorite to spear though. The Cabrillas are easier to land.

You are right Marco. I just checked a book where I wrote down the Cuban names beside the English.
Mutton snapper = Pargo Criollo aka Pargo Sanjuanero
Red snapper = Pargo Colorado aka Pargo del Alto aka Pargo RojoStill in Cuba when someone says "pargo" they mean mutton snapper. The rest of the snappers require the second word, to my knowledge.. The exceptions are:
Cubera snapper = Cubera
Gray snapper = Caballerote aka Cubereta
Lane snapper = Biajaiba
Mahogany snapper = Ojonco
Yellowtail snapper = Rabirubia -
mutton snaper-pargo de ley o pargo criollo tambien sanjuanero pero solo en el sanjuan que es a finales de junio.
caballerote y cubereta son muy diferentes caballerote es uno de mis faboritos tambien se le llama caji cuando son mas pequenos .tienen unas lineas amarillas y se parecen al jocu.
muy muy lindos los pargos marco,felicidades. -
El mejor pargo es el Parguitus Envarilladus!

Hey marco nice day of fishing. Thanks for answering my e-mail. i will be calling you soon. While at it say hi to Naranjo i know him from way back when he used to play Table tennis And we got him in the water. Really happy to see that he is doing good in the sport . like to see good spearos learn. i know you are taking care of him.Tell him Alvin send his regards. I was with him and rodolfo when we did the cast away in his brand new boat couple of years back. some funny ass story but i will keep that for myself:). getting new gear before i head back to PR to do some spearfishing. i really hope you have time to take me out. if not i will driving like crazy around the island to get some shore diving time.:thumbsup2:

hmmm more neutral. well. i was kind of the last to jump out of the boat trying save it. But i forgot to collect my belongings to secure them.. so i lost 70% of my gear. plus a king mackarel that was huge. (personal record for me). but with the camera drowned the nice pictures were spoiled:blowup:. I can tell you about that story some day that will take some really long typing. Just glad we end up safe after all of that.
