I'm really glad I didn't buy the old version.

Raul Nero you are in between sizes, 43-44 is too small and 45-46 is too big. Since you're using 5mm socks I would try the larger size 45-46.

There is always energy loss with socks during a fin stroke. Whether it is significant enough to have a noticeable effect depends on the individual.

PM (Private Messages) are called conversations. To delete conversations do the following:

1. Click on Conversations link in the top menu bar.

2. In the pop up menu click display all (it's at the bottom of the menu) which will take you to your conversations page/inbox.

3. Put a check mark next to the conversation/s you want to delete.

4. At the bottom right corner of the screen a "Conversations" button will appear, click on it.

5. A menu will pop up with a few options, choose the "Leave" option. This will remove the conversation/s from your inbox.

If on the other hand you want to defeat the PM, I would suggest you write back a witty response

The exception would be using a slip tip with a polespear, there's not enough power to damage the slip tip.

Quote from Marco

..I would never use a slip tip in the reef.

Why not?

Mutton snapper are a weary fish, well done Philippe. You seem to have a high success rate landing them. Maybe the slip tip had something to do with it. They tend to go crazy and rip off a flopper spear if the shot is less than perfect.

Thanks for sharing Henry. And great Bulit pose

I'm guessing this hunting can only be practiced in open terrain.

This type of hunting practiced by the bushmen of Africa was an eye opener to me. Basically the human hunter runs down his prey, in this case a Kudo, in the hot sun over the course of hours until the animal can no longer move due to sheer exhaustion. The man is able to outlast the animal because his anatomy is more efficient over a long distance. Running on two legs takes less energy than running on four, and not having fur the human can sweat from his whole body and cool down better. He is also able to carry water with him. This kind of hunting is believed to be used by our furthest ancestors before the development of long range projectile weapons. When I think how quickly I give up on a fish once it starts moving I am in awe of these hunters.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the video.

So where did you end up and how is it?

Who makes the best spearfishing wetsuit? IMO it doesn't get better than the Speardiver Reef https://spearfishing.store/spe…-1mm-spearfishing-wetsuit

So Ramon you think Spain should still own Cuba?

You even mounted the gopro on the roller. Do we have videos to look forward to?

The Kodiak brakes are expensive so I prefer to install them on only one axle. Legal considerations aside, will putting brakes on only one axle provide sufficient braking power? Or will it just transfer the weight to the free axle and result in little to no trailer braking? Braking force is applied when the trailer puts pressure on the actuator.

My boat+trailer weigh 4500lb.

IMO no. There are many better options.

Not really. In the videos Jose posted above you can see that's about all the gun is good for.

Haven't heard talk of this speargun for years. The problem with it was little band stretch for the bottom spear so it was practically useless, OK for small fish at very short range.

Nice video composition/editing. Of course great fish.
This video should be in its own thread not tucked away here.

A compact way to route the speargun reel line, back and over the line release, on top of one wrap of mono shooting line. The reel line stays flush against the barrel from the reel to the muzzle, easier to grip the speargun. Reel line is released at the same time as the shooting line. And you get an extra foot of range before the spear starts pulling line from the reel. Shown here with the Speardiver Phantom Carbon speargun.
