What's SG?

TM, Polypropylene rope is very cheap. I'd settle for it lasting a 1/3 of the time if it would mean it's going to be less visible by fish. It is clearly identifiable when the rope starts to degrade.

Davie, A visible float line is like a moving wall to a fish. It blocks off a whole direction for the fish. I believe it is part of the reason fish always escape directly away from us. When I say this keep in mind I always used a float line so I don't know how they react to you guys without one. If you can't see the logic in that consider why H&L use clear mono.

Felix, I currently use a Rob Allen orange line. A few months ago I did a comparison of the RA to a regular polypropylene clothes line by separating the braids down to the individual strands and counting them. There is no difference. Well, except for price.

Float lines scare fish. Apart from which color is least visible in the water which is what I want to know, is it possible to have a transparent polypropylene rope? If mono can be clear why not polypropylene rope?

One solution is to use the clear tubing, the same as they use for the fancy float lines. But it's cumbersome to work with and besides i don't know how transparent it really is.

Don't worry, I'm not so good that if I go to live there I leave no fish for you <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> I want to live in Cuba but it's not possible for me and many others because of the regime. PR is maybe next best thing and I think about it sometimes. I like simple lifestyle as long as there's a tourist industry.

I understand what you mean about the float line. I was asking questions before on which color for float line is least visible in the water. Maybe you can tell me? I always dive with float line and I consider it a toss up between these two factors; not having to worry about losing my gun to a fish versus being able to get closer due to no float line.

So we know our colleague shot this fish but I still think I'd hesitate to pull the trigger. I'll bet those cold water fish are delicious though.

It's cheaper and better to make your own gun. Or to have one guy out of a group of divers that likes to make them. For some stupid reason I thought they'd be cheaper in Europe. It makes sense that Europeans would take care to put an ergonomically correct handle on a wood gun. That's worth some extra $$ Thanks for the gun pics, it has nice lines. Do all of you use reels?

Marco, I like the vids. What depth is that where you recover the grouper? Is that average viz for PR?

What did you use instead of the hogfish head, chicken feet? <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

Vamos a ver.. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Cojones, and to think my wife uses coquí as a term of endearment. I'll have to educate her about it.

The only thing that really sucks about the Riffes is the handle. If they'd fix that it would be a top notch gun.

Sorry about your spot no longer being secret, I know how that goes.

OK I gotta ask what's a Coquí Submarino? Sounds like a hairy diver dude in pink rash guards.

Nice, another alternative for a wood gun. Riffe had the monopoly long enough. Any idea of the prices?

"your neck of the woods" es un refran norteamericano más of menos común. Significa tu local o la zona que frequentes. Supongo que es aun más applicable para cazadores.

What kind of gun is a TeakSea other than being a teak gun probably?

pm sent.

Coño Marco! Those are some big snapper. I can't tell you enough how nice it is to see some pics from your neck of the woods. I'd like to know what guns you and your friends are using.

Yeah, lots of advancements in gear I think but the fish still do the same old thing no? Good luck, dive safe and please post some pics of the day if possible.

That one tested my Spanish but I get it.

Welcome to the forum A Pulmon

So can you tell us a little about yourself, we already know that you make a killer mojito where you dive etc.

Who, me? :innocent2:

LOL Haven't heard this one before.
