Judah, I'm heading out tomorrow. will post a report. Most of it will be bugging before the season ends, then I can focus on those hogs again <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
But, I did see two shootable hogs last wednesday when I went. Also got a double limit of lobster for the boat
sounds good buddy...when is the season over? april?
i might be able to call in on friday, if Ican, we should go get some bugs then too
welcome back Ry, glad you got to dive a little and had fun...i sure do love to see a lionfish on a spear, so thanks for that too 
Well lets consider Sunday as well. The wind should still be calm then
Stellar. Nicely done
So Saturday looks like it is going to be a nice day. Who wants to try a dive and grill again? Anyone free on Saturday and interested?
Good news my friend. Good news indeed
Hogs showing back up?
howdy
Dan just nailed it... I know all the fish I can NOT shoot..anything else is dinner
welcome aboard
I always thought it was better Not to have the Reel line running through any eyelets up barrel on the gun. The reason is that this puts the line closer to the stickiest things around.. The bands. I want my line as far away from those bands as possible. As long as you are using a Sturdy Reel... it will work out fine. As far as line burns.. I've got holes in all my gloves, Kevlar, leather, synthetics, reinforced, etc... luckily I have some thick skin in that place where the line goes.. you can palm the reel, but in the true, when that reel is unloading a 5Omph, I don't want my fingers near it either. I just suffer the line burns and wear them with pride.
spoken like a warrior...a smart warrior <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
especially when you are going to be bringing a mnster like that back up with you.
i was thinking the same thing Dan...I am not a reel user so i am woefully ignorant.
to me a reel is at the least a line storage device or at most a fish fighting aid and anything in between.
I would want as simple a reel as possible to I could avoid any issues withthe reel failing on me. but if you have a good reel that does has an adjustable drag, and can be adjusted quickly and under pressure, then it can add to your ability to fight and subdue a fish as well...in theory. i would be concerned that any extra features would involve more moving parts and thus more to break...I like Ddonnell's approach actually to the KISS standard...
anyone with a reel have any insights?

Oops, wrong forum
sounds like a tough man in training <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
I am sorry to go off topic, but why are you against drilling to mount to reel?
Does your line not burn or rip the gloves. I imagine a yt could haul ads fast enough to generate some extreme friction.
That is a nice fish. And yeah. Your diving is next level
What was the gun/ setup
I have my tetnis shot and my shafts have no rust at all <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
This the best dog trick I've seen in a while....
Dan I will be interested in a 130 cm x 7.5 mm shaft and a few 160 cm tabs if they have shark fins.
