Hey Ramon, thanks..Nope the Purple Heart does really well in the water, i made another stock with it about eight years ago and it held up really well even though i didn't maintain it well. Very strong and stable timber but very dense.
Purple Heart and Teak (100cm) and Purple Heart and Mahogany (125cm) Speargun builds.

Bien espero que sea acertada la elección de la madera, prefiero que mi madero sea funcional aunque feo, a bonito que se estropee por la sal.

Looks good!

Added a mag track to both builds today...Ordered the magnets a while back but got them late so had to add them post build. They work great, they hold the shaft when upside down but it falls when shaken. I used N52 magnets, size 8x3mm disc. I used seven in the 130cm due to the longer shaft and six in the 100cm , all were vertically stacked and they were epoxied in for strength and waterproofing/ corrosion resistance . They hold the shaft stronger when they are laid next to each other (greater surface area interacting with the magnets) but i stacked them vertical for esthetics. I like the look of only seeing one small magnet, plus i didn't want too much resistance on the shaft when firing. Here are some pics.
I think there are too many 7 neodymiums stacked
Have you already checked them fishing?

perfecto

Hey Ramon, yep i've used it about 12 dives so far and it works pretty well. Those magnets are pretty small so the force is just enough to function correctly.

Creo que con la mitad te bastaba, la función es sujetar cuando el nailon no vaya por encima de la varilla, pero si crees que esta bien pues perfecto.
I think that half was enough,
the function is to hold when the nylon does not go over the rod,
but if you think it is fine then perfect.
