Dude that's a monster gun. I guess you were hoping for tuna.

John, if you're not going to do a thread on the gun lets see a pic of it here.

Thanks for sharing John.

Don, looking at the logo, is that Long beach Neptunes preferred shot placement on WSB? <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Liked the road kill vid. I came close to doing that once. I believe in New York and/or New Jersey you need to call in a road kill deer and receive permission to take it, otherwise it's illegal to pick it up.

Thank you Roberto but in this matter we are all equal partners.

GR awesome! I so needed pics of the red suit. Who are the other guys in the pics?

Pursuit will have socks soon. They're made of the same stretchy/soft neoprene as the suits, but are lined inside and out. The stretchier neoprene may solve your problem.

Look at it another way. If you know %100 which fish are regulated, and you see a fish that you don't recognize, then for sure the fish is not regulated.

Over here almost all the jacks are not regulated, and all can be taken with a spear. I didn't know that fish but if I saw it for sure I'd think it was some kind of jack, maybe a strange Cravalle. I can't speak for John but if it was me and I didn't recognize the fish I'd want to shoot it just so I can get a closer look. Otherwise how would you learn what it is. My personal code is that all new fish can be taken once to evaluate whether they're worth taking in the future. After that if I'm not going to eat it I'm not going to shoot it.

John that is one ugly fish. I hope he tastes as good as his looks are bad.

Dark meat or white meat?

Funny vid. I must admit I was feeling sympathetic for him.

I don't know how you manage to catch them in the ocean if you have so much trouble grabbing him in the cooler

:welcome2:

Guys, assuming the Paxman reel is very good, do you think $130 is a reasonable price to pay? Would you buy it at that price? I mean is there nothing comparable in performance on the market for less?

You're using the correct style crimps but I can't tell if you're using the right size for your mono. BTW Pursuit will soon have crimps in the store.

Everything Billy said is dead on.

Additionally I would use good 400lb mono like this http://freedivingspearfishingg…/56-momoi-400lb-mono.html Inferior mono stretches too much, becomes thin and slides through the crimp cutting itself in the process. Use the right size crimps for the mono, and crimp at the right setting of the crimping tool. You don't need two crimps. Done right no cuda should be able to break the line.

Can you post a pic of the crimps you used and where exactly the line broke?

A rail gun or a pneumatic?

Yes I'll continue to have both stainless and coated. BTW I have a full range of sizes in American shafts with shark fin tabs, like Riffe.

Yes tri-cut, 3 notches. Wasn't there a disease that you can catch from rusty nails? I guess saltwater disinfects everything <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

I'll have a 190cm 7.5mm soon, but you'll need to add the rest pin yourself.
