I heard a great quote that I'll ruin, " you mushroom hunters are crazy, you spend your time in the most beautiful forests in the world but on cold rainy days and staring at the ground!!"
some lady said it to a friend and me while we were walking the woods a few hours north of san fran around thanks giving... my buddies answer was to hold up a beautiful cap and the question was answered
at your service my brother. these literally cost about 2.35 to make retail...I'd happily make one for just about anyone.
Dan, how are you attaching the mono on your snares
do you guys have any consistent beach cams?
Dan has linked a few of the good SOFla ones on the homepage, i am sure he'd add cali cams if they exist
one of the two i made yesterday is for you.
that is a good heads up dan...i thought about adding another crimp in the loop to act as a stopper as well.
it really doesnt constrict as other snares do, it more collapses as you know...i would argue against any ticket(in court) to say that this snare cannot crush or injure a lobster as other snares can because one cannot actually apply any force. the pulling of the animal does that
I apologize to all cali guys, I am not rubbing it in ![]()

I buy the cheap slim aluminum tickle sticks for 1.99 then i drill a hole at one end at 45 degrees...then simple cut about 14 inches of 400 lb mono and put a tight loop on one end...thread the other end through the loop and through the stick..then add another crimp there.
at this point you have to secure the tail end to make the snare work so I tie a constrictor knot and then square knot the excess 

....then bend the end of the tickle stick to your liking.
for use, just tickle the bug out and then get the loop behind him. once you get the loop over the swimettes you almost cant lose..if they move at all the snare closes and the front legs grab from the front while the tail pull in from the back..cant miss.
I have no idea where this idea came from I first saw it from Ben and was told by another spearo it was called a cuban snare. I know the idea is old but I thought I would show how I make mine.
but you gotta join..
he's on the couch watching me type. And he wanted to let you know theres no h in his name.

I find it amusing that the word speardiver can not even be posted like a curse word. And posts containing workarounds are deleted very quickly. I think its obvious he realizes that people, when presented with a choice between:
A) A forum filled with: more advertisements and arguments then information on spearfishing, hoardes of manchildren that say insulting things behind a computer, and moderators who either feed the manchildren or are also manchildren themselves.
B) A forum filled with: well informed respectful and friendly discourse on all aspects of spearfishing, well informed friendly tight knit and respectful users who can have adult conversation on various topics sometimes disagreeing, and ego-free common sense moderation.
They will only choose A is if they don't know B exists.
there you go thinking and using your head again....didnt your parents warn you that was dangerous

A satellite picture of those reserves with distances to children's pool indicated on it would be instructive for those not familiar with the situation.
I agree. That would be a compelling poster
