Looks good. Pucho ask straight shaft/Julio, he's been doing the recessed spring for a while.

OK OK..

Alan, is that a new Yazbek suit? How do you like it?

Yeah, you should see the Cuban way of making it. A glass of rum with a dash of cola. I'm a practical man, beer takes too long and too many trips to the bathroom before you get drunk.

Do you have friends? Usually you offer something to drink when they show up....

Few, but the property next to my house is a liquor store, their building gives me nice shade in the summer, so if things are getting happy it's a short trip to get the supplies. The down side is that sometimes I have to take care of their clients.

Done. You'd click on edit post then go advanced and you should see the the option to change the title.

Nice fish Alan.

There's a quick video tutorial I made on how to post pics. It's a sticky in the information section.

Cuba libre

Good stuff Harry and crew. That was some beautiful bottom in the vid, how deep?

So Jim, we talk and you say "I want to shoot a cobe" and a couple of days later you go out and shoot yourself a big one I've been wanting to taste another cobe for a couple of years now, save me a little piece. I was watching the shot on the cobe and it reminded me of those times where the fish is big and strong and you shoot it and the fish barely reacts. You know it doesn't even realize it's in trouble yet and are waiting for all hell to break loose which it does. Those were some very nice spots, congrats.

I haven't. Is it beer with flour? I don't drink beer though so I don't usually have it around the house.

Jim, that's the one I was telling you about for the pieces. When you go let me know, I may join you. But I think any tailor will do this, it's just a matter of using the right thread, one that won't rot. I like nylon carpet thread for projects like that.

With that said keep a couple of things in mind because I've done what you want to do before. If you want it to look professional ask for a trim around the patch/pocket. If you don't do this you might as well not mess around with stitching and glue the thing on because it's going to look like a patch job and nothing more. Putting a trim on it will cost you more though.

I would avoid the stitching and glue it on. The stitching obviously puts holes in the wetsuit and will make it weaker along that line if you ever decide you don't like the pocket and take it off. With the glue you can take it off by force and there will be no damage to the suit other than the glue residue. If you decide you like it you can always add the stitching later.

Which are the pectoral fins? :thinking:

You have reached a great area, expect straigth honest statements and reviews from real great people around, this is a site of friends. Wellcome home brother

Those are some powerful words. Let me just correct the spelling a little... Now this is something I can put right on the home page of the site A little reminiscent of the Twilight zone introduction though <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Local business ha.. You've been keeping it modest monster

Thanks for the great recipe.

I may be reinventing the wheel here. I wanted to fry some fish fillets and didn't have anything to coat them with. There was some pancake mix so I gave it a shot. It has good adhesion, fried to a nice golden brown and tasted good. I recommend it.

I just thought the round shape would attach better to a pipe gun. I don't see why for a Biller a spike can't be attached the conventional way.

With two 16mm bands? How large a cubera and where was it hit?

Welcome, and make yourself at home

110 - 120 depending on what you're capable of handling comfortably for all around use.

I'm no slip tip expert but from reading what the experienced guys had to say a Riffe slip tip is like the last choice. I can't remember what the criteria are but there are better and cheaper options. I will tell you though that for our hunting you don't need a slip tip. You'll just F' it up on rocks. The RA slip tip is an exception in this regard.
