Beuchat open head with automatic locking mechanism

Hi all,

I have a Beuchat speargun with one of their open heads with automatic locking mechanism. I have never wrapped my shooting line around the spear like you do on normal open head spearguns but I saw someone do it the other day. So which was is correct? I thought their new head was to get the best of both worlds, the speed of open heads with the ease of closed heads, but I may have gotten that wrong .

Thanks,
Gabriel

Good point Dan. I just copied the description from their site, I guess it is because you don't have to get a wrench out, lol.

I just wonder how to wrap it since I have a slide ring, my other guns with slide rings have closed heads. Can I just put the ring with that part the line connects to on the right lets say, run it under the right line tab, bring it over to the left and wrap it under the left line tab?

Thanks,
Gabriel

Hmm, my head is a bit different, in the pictures on the beuchat site they don't wrap it. I attached a picture.

Yes, I should have. So no wrapping possible? Would what I proposed to wrap it not work? I don't have other open head guns, I am a bit afraid that it will create knots/tangles when I shoot it. When I see wrapped heads I always wonder if it won't create tangles.

Hi Josediaz, gracias, pero esto no me ayuda

I don't want to remove them, I need to know if I can wrap the line around the spear since I have a slide ring and roller. If I can then I will test with it like it is and also by losening it.
