  • Wanna invest in a pair of long blade fins

    The back edge profile of any fiberglass or carbone blades can be modified with the right tools to fit any foot pockets ie. insert deep enough. Location of angle on the blade vs the angle in the foot pockets can be a sticking point but is normally ok if the angle on the carbon blades is not too sharp, rather a curve as with the Speardiver blades. In this case the foot pocket tendons will bend to accommodate the angle in the blades even if they're somewhat offset. That's pretty much all the difficulty you'll encounter with new blades as they should not come predrilled, and you can make screw holes in the blade exactly to match the location of the screw holes in the foot pockets. Screw holes tend to weaken the blade at that point and need to be made carefully. If a blade already has screw holes they will not normally match any holes in the foot pockets other than the ones they were created for. But they will be close, so making additional screw holes too close to existing ones may weaken the blade to point of failure.


    DiveR blades do have a sharp built in angle. And the fiberglass version is not all that durable. A customer brought in this broken DiveR fin just the other day and switched out to carbon blades. Nowadays fiberglass blades don't make sense, a good carbon blade is faster, more efficient and more durable. Think like when you want to break a piece of metal, you start bending it back and forth until it weakens and finally gives out. This happens with plastic and fiberglass, but not with well made carbon fiber blades, they will last a million flex cycles without weakening if not abused. It's just the nature of the material.


  • Mares Speargun

    Congratz on the new speargun, may it serve you well.


    Speardiver RTX 120cm, best production speargun in the world, with titanium reel and line $435. I'll take a band gun over a pneumatic any day for its ease of use/maintenance and reliability.

  • Mares Cyrano HFT pneumatic speargun no longer in production?

    Yes the Mares Cyrano HFT pneumatic speargun is discontinued. While aesthetically it was a very nice pneumatic speargun, functionality wise it was no different than a more standard looking compressed air powered speargun.


    As an alternative consider the Seac Asso it's a very nice pneumatic speargun. Powerful, accurate, a reliable work horse, it's been around for many years. At a very affordable price, an updated look and all the right lengths; power/range configurations, the Seac Asso (Ace in Italian) is a no brainer for air gun fans https://spearfishing.store/seac-asso-pneumatic-speargun-cr It would be my choice for a good looking, functional, no-frills pneumatic speargun.


  • Best shooting line for rollers

    For roller spearguns and standard spearguns shooting line I use monofilament. Mono is stiff, holds its own weight straight so it doesn't coil and float around creating possibility of entanglement, and is easier to handle/more predictable in the water. Cheap and easily replaceable, no knots to mess around with. Also less drag than a corded line. Even when I use a reel with line, the section attached to the spear + 2 wraps is mono.


    You will need a good crimping tool to compress the crimps that will make the attachment loops in the mono line, to the spear and muzzle bungee. I prefer this all stainless steel crimper to keep on the boat, it doesn't rust https://spearfishing.store/stainless-steel-crimping-tool




    This is high quality mono made in Florida that's tested and always true to its stated breaking strength https://spearfishing.store/mon…nt-speargun-shooting-line
