Shouldn't be that hard to cut the flopper shorter if it's really necessary.

Kolt, after you write up your article with all this info and pics, are you going to add in the end how really it's all a waste of time and polespearing is the way to go, and that if you really need a speargun a Rob Allen is all that's necessary?

Nice work Xan, thank you.

Sticky it is.

Keep adding to it and I'll update the first post.

Welcome to the forum Terry. Thanks for the good words.

hau, do those shorts ride down at all? Is there a drawstring to prevent it or something?

What does it mean?

LOL How is your Hawaiian so good?

OK fuzz, kukai kana, I beat you to it

To an English speaker Tako would sound too much like Taco. Maybe something that flows better. BTW what does no-ka-oi mean? For those who don't know it's one of Riffe's speargun models.

I'd like to give one of the Pursuit wetsuits (brown camo) a Hawaiian name. I have no understanding of Hawaiian language/grammer, but some of the words just sound really cool. I know we have a few Hawaiian forum members so I'd like your input.

I think Steven will have to go custom with shorts too

Interesting. Since this happens so rarely I have the idea that a barracuda attack is really a collision. The fish in its escape run chose a direction that put it on a collision course with the diver. Barracuda attacks often enough in predatory mode, looks almost the same. I just have a hard time believing it will want to go back close to the diver which is the source of threat to it.

Would you wear it as a normal wrist watch?

Excellent pic with the 5 prong, looks oldschool. And look at the prongs all bent to shit

I'm thinking of making me a fish stamp. It's a more respectful way of keeping a trophy than having a mount made. We should have a thread here on how to do it. I like the solid blue one better than the colored.

Welcome.

Where in Florida are you going to be?

Pursuit wetsuits http://freedivingspearfishinggear.com/5-a

Solid aluminum pole spears are too slow.

Thread moved to the wetsuit section.

Here in Miami area rashguard for the summer. For winter diving a 3mm 2 piece open cell inside, lined outside wetsuit.

Thanks.

Don't be concerned with using the sling, it's really easy. Using the sling and diving are two separate elements, I think the diving part will take more practice. The biggest disadvantage of the sling is that you can't carry it loaded. Loading it just before the shot may spook the fish. If you load it too early you're not going to be able to use your arms to maneuver yourself into position. IMO all the slings on the market fail to incorporate an ergonomic grip area, I've been wanting to make my own easy to grip version of a sling for years. Stay away from pistol grip slings. BTW I don't only attach the spear to the sling, but also the sling to a float line.

What's it like using the atlatl? Did you make it yourself? Were you able to kill anything?
