Lined is another way of saying not open cell, lined with nylon or Lycra on the inside or outside or both.

Yeah probably, didn't even notice that. A double can happen but usually with two fish of the same species.

I always look fishy at the shower curtain rod That idea the gun maker had for the aluminum bar is the best thing there is though. It's so stiff for the weight.

Found a pic from another angle. Looks like maybe a life preserver. But it would be nice if a dedicated spearfishing float would be made with a groove like that don't you think?

Does the red thing look like a spearfishing float or a life saving device? I always wanted to find a way to incorporate a spool into a float, maybe this is it.

This is a big speargun by California standards never mind Europe <img src= " srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23"> Must be for that elusive snapper look alike fish they have there?.. ah el denton.

Who makes it?

I grabbed these pics from deeperblue? Interesting concept. More complicated than complete wood gun but I love the fact that it's so ghetto. At some point I want to embark on making the cheapest crappiest looking gun that shoots real well.

The wood was cut in half today and I have two potential speargun blanks. Because of the cut I'm going to let them settle for a month, I anticipate warpage.

If you don't mind using lubrication to get in the suit, open cell on the inside will be an advantage for you in the cold. Since you're not doing some crazy depths where super slick gliding is a must you can use nylon on the outside without hesitation. From your descriptions of diving around wrecks mostly I'd think that durability is foremost and the nylon outer will give you that. Of course two piece is the way to go in any case. I don't like farmer John, for convenience ending under your chest works just fine.

I see him

I don't like open cell. When on the inside you need lubrication or at least water to put it on. On the outside the material will cut easily. Without a doubt though it cuts water circulation inside the suit completely and is consequently warmer. Allowing you to use a thinner suit in colder water.

You can easily cut and shorten sleeves and pant legs if it's neoprene with nylon inner and outer. It will work just like that or with a dab of Aquaseal where the stitching ends. For a more professional finish you can have a soft nylon web trim stitched around the cut. Shouldn't be too expensive to do this.

Vatos locos pinche carnal!!

:flagmex: Added a few new ones.

hau, I like your logic.

I can't get excited about a speargun anymore. It's just a stick with rubber bands.

Blood in blood out was a good movie in its time. American me was another hard one.

Could very well be. I felt like finding that footage to put it up here but didn't remember which DVD or file it was in. I scanned through everything and it was in the last fucking one.

Quote from Toledo970

I don't remember ever "learning" to swim. I remember not being able to swim on top of water and going under to get there faster. I do remember almost drowning once at " El Farito" Cape Florida but that's it. I also never became afraid of water. I was able to swim pretty far underwater at a very early age.

Stranger things have happened.

What version?

Yeah I figured it's some Picasso or omer speargun, probably an old one too. European pipe speargun design amazes me sometimes, they're all so toyish. I guess that's what works for the smaller fish of the med. I've seen some videos of them taking big groupers too though.
