Handle looks really good.

I wouldn't want the flashlight bouncing against my body on a dive. There's a potential risk of entanglement too.

Thanks for letting me know. There was a problem with the forum, it's fixed now. This really sucks, I have no idea how long the registration system was down.

I don't get it, do they have something against properly recessing a handle.. Anyways that Neptonics handle feels solid, and the color is neat. But gripping it I felt like it was made for much bigger hand than mine. I'd like to know what you think when you receive it George.

Cool vid. This is what I heard the Goliath groupers do here.

Where is Bequia?

A roundover with a router will be much easier. You need to pick up the pins anyways, we can do it then.

I like the pic.

If there's any chance of getting rolled the gun shouldn't be loaded.

Thanks for the warning and memorable story Don.

Regardless of how strong or weak a handle that's not recessed is, personally if I see a handle that's slapped on like that it immediately turns me off. I couldn't turn out a speargun with handle bolted on like that. Unless there was no room for it to be recessed because of the mech or something. I have nothing against Koah.

This topic has been discussed various times, but I want it to have it's own thread. Personally, other than to satisfy the perceived need for them from a seller's standpoint, and possibly avoid legal issues in the case of an accident, I see no use for a safety in a speargun. I'll state my reasons a little later when I have more time .

I've never been to Isla de la Joventud. But on the north coast of Cuba between Havana and Varadero the cordelero is widely used. Actually this method must be used if a commercial fisherman is to be successful, because the remaining fish are too deep for an unassisted diver. In some teams the assistant's only job is to assist, in other words he doesn't spear.

A high degree of trust develops between diver and assistant. The diver becomes conditioned and relies on the assistant when calculating his diving effort. On one outing a diver friend let me "borrow" his cordelero, this fellow was a dedicated assistant and very strong. Being pulled up from depth by him felt like riding an elevator. On the other hand when I tried my hand at assisting I didn't like it, it was difficult and my heart wasn't in it. But I would still assist if circumstances require it.

Actually Khalel now has the forum record for Margate.

Welcome to the forum.

I looked at the stringer, the trapped snap design makes all the sense in the world. However I wouldn't trust the snap Neptonics is using, it can open up on its own. At least it's not a safety issue as all it would mean is lost stringer and fish.

Thanks for the review linghunt, and well done modification. Can you please post a pic of how the cam behaves inside the trigger.

Margate are fine eating. Just hard to process and small yield for their size. It makes me feel bad to kill a fish when what I have to throw away is 2/3 of it or more.

That's a good spot and usually where I hit when aiming for the head. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
