Ramon is right, red is not the best color to maintain the ideal properties of the tubing. It's manufacturers that usually care about this sort of thing for product differentiation, at the expense of performance. Hammerhead tried to have an exclusive on red bands, I think they called it "trade dress". Must've really hurt when persistent started using red bands too. In any case I think being so concerned about band color for pretty sake is lame. I used to have this tendency myself but not any more. A speargun is a tool, and when well used it starts to look like shit, main thing is that it remain functional, that's spearfishing.

Maybe so, but ethanol does affect/deteriorate some materials like fuel lines. I'm no chemist so I can't say for sure what happens. But there's discussion about switching from ethanol added to ethanol free causing problems. Sounds wrong because switching to ethanol was bad in the first place, so how can switching back to ethanol free be bad, but people are saying it can be.

Nice looking dish.

Here's a website that lists locations to buy ethanol free gas http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=FL.
Does anyone know if problems are caused by going from gas with ethanol added to ethanol free?

This is what a tuned flopper should look like.

BTW quality floppers with correct size pin holes, and including a pin with a head are available from Pursuit http://freedivingspearfishinggear.com/53-flopper.html International priority shipping to Belize is only $15 with a USPS small flat rate box. They can go with regular mail too which will be cheaper but take more time.

By the bars I'd say cubera, personally I've never seen a mangrove with bars. Although for the weight the fish doesn't seem to have as deep a body as a cubera should. Regardless nice fish.

Patrick! Saw the pics and recognized you. Welcome to the forum.

I'm not clear on what's going on but both holes on barb should be the same size, large enough to accommodate the pin. If one is too small drill it out.

Interesting vid. Any idea what it died of? Why there weren't sharks feeding on it?
