Make sharks your catch carry a powerhead Speardiver Quick Slip-on Powerhead

Last day.

Marlin wins! Can't help rooting for the underdog.

Yes plastic mechs are weaker in both aspects, holding power and durability.

By the same token anyone who's that much into it can disassemble a bought mechanism and make sure it's built to their satisfaction.

Speaking of that I have before tried to imagine what will be the effect of the sharkfin tabs passing through my grip, or the shooting line getting wrapped around a finger and jerking it. In either case it has potential to be unpleasant.

Spears don't bounce back significantly underwater, not enough to cause injury. If for some reason a speargun must be loaded out of the water, the shooting line should be disconnected.

I know it feel that way. On the other hand I see what they eat. It's not like they're scurrying around garbage piles.

Depends on the individual diving style. If normal precautions are taken the gun will not be dangerous to the one who carries it, as it will always shoot away from the diver. It's much more likely to be dangerous to other divers. So if you dive alone it's not so bad, but if you dive with others often, then you have a responsibility to use only a safe tested trigger. tufual said he tested the trigger. The thing to do is inspect the trigger and sear from time to time for signs of wear.

I'll come back to read the larger part of your post at my leisure, l always enjoy your narrative Nate. About the squirrels, I recently gave up on them since my new dog like to chase but not eat them. Your post revived my interest. Interesting color variations on the ones you got. The insides look the same as the consistent little grey ones I have here. very nice pics too.

You and your companions are looking strong. Be safe Aaron. Cool pics.

That shaft is from a pneumatic.

It's hard to give it to any one Cuban group, but Los Van Van have been rocking it for 44 years, still today with the original founder Juan Formell at the helm. They have to be the best, and my favorite group. You gotta' understand the language and culture to really get it, but maybe it's not necessary to simply enjoy it.

Great intro, glad to have you.

Moshe, Monster, thank you for the reviews.

Oscar from Miami, Speardiver suit.

I don't know how much holding power it will have, or how it will work under load, but kudos for the effort.

Here's another pic of Mani from 2011. I think whether the speargun is loaded controversy can be put to rest. If I see a loaded gun on the stern of a boat, I'll run to the bow, and more so with a pneumatic. But Mani.. I don't feel I'm in any position to criticize how he does things, he's very experienced.

Nice freediving antics at 4:50 I think this could be the start of a trend.

The boat is upside down right?

It looked rough out there today. At least near port everglades.
