The obvious thing that comes to mind is Jeff's handle. It's not metal though.

To convert the distance to my thinking I'd give the arm, gun, and shaft overhang about 7ft. So that means you hit within 4" at 16ft. That's good accuracy at good range. How does it feel when the shaft hits the end of the cable? What fish, species and size, do you specifically envision taking with it? Sorry if I asked this before at some point, I can't remember.

Is that the pool that you were building in the background? I guess you tested it on a target, how does it shoot?

Damn it looks positively evil and ready to kill. What happened to the typical carbon fiber surface?

Jeff, see what happens when you show a weakness.. The wolves go in for the kill <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> I find that photoshopping the flaw helps psychologically. It eliminates the "would've could've" element. Flaws really do give things character, at least that's what I keep telling myself But I have made strides in believing it.

Anyways, for your psychological healing... :thereyougo:

2 smaller floats together?????

No That's the basic design though http://spearfishing.world/divi…pedo-float-with-flag.html

Jeff, the two part foam doesn't look like it has the same properties as the above floats. I think it will absorb water?

Looks like maybe an RA trigger so plastic?

Yo comprender! But from envisioning that I just got a very simple and better idea. I will post with the finished product within a couple of days.

It could be if someone would make it.

I'm not sure what you mean Ray. But I'm starting to think that if there's a way to make a DIY mold for foam floats then I might give it a go.

I think you should start over - that white spot completely ruins it. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

I got some of that.

Nice, that's the best one yet using that material.

I really like the idea of the first thread, with the line simply recessed around the float. Also I like the line a little thicker than what would fit on such a fine spool, thicker for handling purposes.

Thanks for the report hau. I was wondering about today. Forecast says good days ahead.

The concept of a reel attached to a board is a simple one and can be done with a boogie board.

For my needs I divide floats into the following categories:

1. Float for reef diving off a boat. This float needs a retractable line system but should be much smaller and more compact than the Sporasub Evo. Around the size of a the bigger RA float and capable of holding up a flag too.

2. Same float but bigger for bluewater hunting, which I don't do so it's not a priority for me.

3. Shore diving float. Here the Sporasub Evo gets close but it lacks in the fish storing capacity. There's really no way around the bungee netting for this purpose. Some ideal fixes would be a line anchoring point that will not tear out of the board. Flat surface on top with bungee netting anchoring points. An interesting design element could be a window in the board which will allow the diver to rest and paddle with the torso on top of the board and still be able to see underneath.

More pics to get an idea of the actual size. No prices as of yet. I always liked Sporasub. I can't say that this is the perfect float the way I envision it but it's obvious Sproasub is making strides in the right direction.

Thanks Pucho, nice find.

Not bad not bad. I thought Sporasub was absorbed by Mares or am I mixing it up with another brand.

Hehehe the cigarette pics are funny.

What's the story with overheating the handle LOL?

Like I said I think it may be a specialized speargun to shoot Denton. It's a highly prized fish that is very skittish and hard to get close to. As such you need a gun that will shoot far accurately. The only way way to achieve this is by increasing band power. When you increase band power you need to increase the mass of the gun to control recoil. These guns IMO are not good for our diving here.
