I don't know how it works for you, maybe it's experience and other guys tend to saw the wishbones over the tabs or notches. I see frayed Rob Allen wishbones come in all the time when guys are getting new rubber from me. Rob Allen because until now it's been the best alternative. Be that as it may you should just get a sample of this stuff, I'm telling you it's really hard to cut. I will be selling it for $.50/ft, that's cheaper than the RA stuff that selling for $.78/ft and better.

Thin wishbone line that tends to be the most durable is jacketed with a very tight weave. Tight weave equals stiffer line. Otherwise you'd be able to use this Dyneema line, but it just doesn't hold up for wishbones.

You want a 3mm open cell inside lined outside wetsuit. The Speardiver 3mm 3XL will fit.

Most of us know about the FRV, Terry Maas developed it. I don't know of anyone who uses it.

What diameter are you looking for?

I'm no expert with reels but I'd think it's too stiff.

Speardiver wishbone line for the North American market is made from Spectra, not Dyneema. Dyneema is cheaper and has more filaments per denier (approximately 10 to 1) making it softer causing it to abrade and wear out faster. Dyneema is used when price is more important than performance or if a softer line is required. The Rob Allen wishbone line is made using Dyneema as it is less expensive to produce. It has a rating of 400 lbs or 180 kg. The Speardiver 1.8mm wishbone line manufactured for the North American market uses a higher grade of Spectra and is rated for 600 lbs or 272 kg. The outer braid of the line is 52 to 59 pick which is the maximum possible for line of that diameter. The line is then top-coated with polyurethane to seal the line and further increase abrasion resistance.
The wishbone line is available at the Speardiver store http://freedivingspearfishingg…es/116-wishbone-line.html
One of the qualities we expect to be immediately apparent from a line suitable for wishbones is stiffness, check out the video demonstrating the stiffness of the Speardiver line. I can also tell you this line is hard to cut.

lol cobes taste a heck of a lot better than cudas!
Not really. And besides I had some bad tasting cobia a few times.

It's more about being able to keep what you're filming in the middle of the shot when you're not using the Gopro as a point of view camera.

looks like it will require a new case, and than a modification again to the lense.
Not at all. The Bacpac fits in the normal HD housing. 4 different doors are included with it which quickly interchange with the normal housing door to accommodate the LCD screen.

Thanks G.R. I wish I had a suit that would fit Steven, he's got one of those builds where a custom suit is a must.

I bought an expensive carbide drill bit once. When I took it out of the package it fell on the floor and broke in half. I took one half and shaped it somewhat with a bench grinder. I then used it to drill a shaft that was too hard for a normal drill bit. That carbide bit seemed to work like an abrasive disk, grinding through the metal, making a hole very fast. The carbide bit I got from Greekdiver didn't work the same way. I was asking about oil because with a bit that's grinding into the metal using oil seems counter productive. I seem to recall that bit worked better at high speed. I haven't seen that kind of carbide bit since that time.
