The first method I mentioned is good if you want to keep the shell undamaged.

If you have time you can leave them on the ground until they start coming out a little, then quickly hook the flesh with a fishing hook line. Then hang them, eventually they'll get tired and let go of their shell. This is used with conch, I'm not familiar with your carrucho but maybe it will work for it too, depending on how heavy the shell is.

Maybe Rain Away will work, it's used for car windshields. Good call on possibly causing eye irritation Bolo.

Thanks Don.

Be careful, they bite too. A big one like that can take off the tip of your finger.

Oscar, please read this thread http://spearfishing.world/foru…earfishing-locations.html

That is the most sophisticated fish push I've ever seen
I'm amazed your friend could keep that posture. Actually I'll bet the pic was taken in motion, I know I couldn't hold that fish at arms length.

The gun is looking mean! Don, can you explain a little more how you did the grip? I'm assuming it's a bicycle inner tube.

OK you're in the books attan. But my margate record will never be beaten!

I'll post a video of how to tune it when I get a chance.

There was a good video on how to clean them posted somewhere.

I have the Gopro HD Hero cameras in stock with an offer which I think is the best on the market for divers http://www.freedivingspearfish…-gopro-hd-hero-naked.html When you buy the camera you get a free flat lens that fixes the focus problem. The lens is also available separately for $43.
I went with the "naked" package because none of the other Gopro packages include anything we can use to mount the camera on the speargun. There is one accessory sold separately that we can use and it's the tripod mount which retails for $8.
This tripod mount will easily secure the camera to one of Tin Man's mounts, and allow pivoting from left to right. Together with the up and down pivot already built into the camera housing this will point the camera exactly where you're aiming with the gun. For a wood gun the Tin Man mount is even simpler, I'll post a pic of this when I install it on my gun.
BTW the easiest way to mount the Gopro on a wood speargun is with the supplied adhesive base, and adding a couple of flush screws, directly to the top of the gun just behind the trigger mech. This eliminates the necessity of side to side pivoting. However in that position even if you shoot instinctively the camera interferes with aiming.
* Note the camera pictured with this speargun is not the Gopro HD Hero.
For reference here's greekdiver's video shot with the Gopro HD Hero and the modified underwater housing.

Ray is a nice guy by all accounts, and from what I've seen on the phone and email. However don't buy shafts, there's a good possibility they will not be straight, don't buy powerheads they will not deploy, don't buy a wishbone inserter it's crap. The shark spike will add a lot of weight to the gun and may be bent too, but because it's short and Ray is the only one making them it may be worth buying. All those things I know because I made the mistake of purchasing them.
I agree a pole spear should be super cheap. But like anything it stops being a means to an end and becomes and end onto itself. I'd make one.
BTW mrmike why didn't you want the 3 piece? Do you think the one piece will be more durable? Did the 3 pieces not align perfectly?
