I'm still looking for a 9/32" diameter shaft.

Beautiful harvest, great pic!

Thanks Hank.

Yes sure. Will regular mail work?
-
If someone has an unusable Riffe shaft, I'll pay $10 for a 2" length from the back. I just need the notch.

Polespear and sling are effective in Bahamas because there's no pressure from spearguns in Bahamas. Try to use them in Miami and see how far you get.

Just some unfounded misconceptions.
Chief, reading that article the only thing I see that would affect us is this bit
QuotePark and regulations would be enacted to prohibit the use of an air supply or gear with a trigger mechanism while spearfishing
Even so a chance to really be productive with a sling and polespear is not such a bad thing. Still I don't see how they'd differentiate between fish taken with a speargun or polespear/sling.

ok you tag, pet and take pictures of sharks. I'll powerhead a shark that doesn't go away after one poke. The only thing that would make me think twice about it is the $20 cost of the powerhead.
-
Drop your fish, put distance between you and the shark with your gun and make your way back to the shore or boat.
Wrong, that's shark feeding. You've just conditioned the shark to harass divers.
-
I don't need a powerhead to feel like a predator with a large shark. A well placed spear at close range would be the end of that encounter.
You'd rather lose a $50 spear and possibly your gun? ok.
Also putting a hole in a shark with a powerhead will not necessarily kill it. A spear where it matters eventually will.

Are you talking about using or carrying Frank? I disagree with the PH not being essential to have on you. In a shark encounter having a powerhead turns you into a predator, with a predator mindset. It allows you to intimidate a shark, so it will leave. Or in the case where it is not affected by your posture, to hurt it (without losing your gear) and make it leave. Sure most sharks we encounter here will leave you alone, but there's always the possibility of one that will not be deterred. Then you'll wish you had a powerhead.
Great pics

You'll have to make one or source it elsewhere. Buy carefully, most of what's available doesn't work well for our purposes, as explained on that product page.

I just remembered Red Tide wears one <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">
He also wears everything red
..or so I hear. -
A computer is not an essential piece of gear. Not one of the best spearos I know uses a computer. I wouldn't wear one if it was free, not even to replace a watch because I know I'll end up looking at it too much to see depth etc. when my focus should be on other things. I assumed you read it online and was interested specifically where you read it and who said it, so I can laugh at them (on the inside of course).

Welcome to Speardiver.
Should fins come before dive computer?
What makes you think you need a computer to dive and spear fish?
-
Son of a bitch. Interesting info Virgili.

Beautiful harvest you have there.
Funny to think of a 90cm as a big gun
These are the specs for the Riffe competitor #00, band stretch is 41cm :@ Would that be the equivalent of a 40 cm euro gun? What would be the ideal length for the Speardiver Phantom to replace the little Riffe?
-
It will not warp under normal conditions. I already answered your question in my previous post.
