can we see pics of the one youve been testing

more than likely the info is fine and not corrupt but your processor or video card cannot handle the info/file

that is good info steve although based on the design of Jeff's muzzle it is ompossible that anything would hit it as it is soo open.

it is possible that the brittleness you described is what is causing the small crack, just from a few eel pokes and fish jabs <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> damn eels

some pretty good insights offered..I wonder how much the potential presense o a small crack may have allowed particulate to enter and exaserbate the probelm...seems like a very possible hypothesis..

one thing I can do, if you are willing to replace the muzzle for me as you generously offered, is to send this one back to you for destruction testing if you are interested. If not I'll keep using it until it dies.

(By the way, those are some very high quality pictures, thank you)

i was shocked by how well they came out considering they were Iphone pics

haha, to think i feel good doing my 25m pool one and a half times without fins..YIKES!!

that is a crazy stroke it seems like he was averaging 4 strokes to travel the full pool, pretty awesome

Jeff and Hau, you are the reason this sport, but ESP this forum is great. Camraderie an generosity of both knowledge and resources. Amazing
I am glad to hear that this is not happening on you muzzle Hau as white is my clear favorite. I find the muzzle picture to be more open and it is easier to see the shaft between the bands, it is almost like an open sight w a speed sight. If fact the only improvement possible would be some staggering of the band holes, any would help them lay flatter but as it is now, they stack side ways which makes a sort of cuttlefish shape, I find it helps with lateral tracking but hurts vertical. Great product great guy

yes sir, i do, it is on my RA 90, doing solid.

I was thinking it had something to do with UV as well..to be clear, i still think this is a solid muzzle and I am not that concerned about it, just giving you feedback about it..who else has a white one? Maybe check in with them to see if they are experiencing anything similar.

the rust color makes me a little concerned as I rinse it thoroughly after each dive and that suggests somehow water has gotten in there?? i'll start spraying some 3in1 in there to keep it water free

Jeff had been kind enough to make a white muzzle and let me test it out for him. After quite some time it is starting to show some indications that it is not holding up as well as it should given it's black counterpart on hau's gun is fine and has had about 1000% more use than mine

I have given it some work, but no sharks and no powerhead strikes so I don't know why it would be cracking if not weaknes of the white material

Some pics

no bungee is needed as far as i know, you use the tension provided by the reel

Is that guy a giant. Those are beautiful fish

howdy, glad to have you...i think you will quickly become addicted to freediving...it is a magical thing

mike, you have two choices, lower temp or less time...i have a nelectric smoker so t is one temp, 195 at the top of the chamber, perfect for me, as I only smoke fish and dont want it to break 200.

for normal fish, whole or large fillets, 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch, two hours is the golden time...i like apple and hickory mixed for my light fishes (snapper grouper) and really any hardwood for the oilier fish like macks

mullet would be delicious any way imaginable, they are the best smoked fish...possible second to a kingfish

sorry, I guess your google is broken too <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> ??

it is in Nevada and Arizona at the stoppage of the Colorado river. It is a beautiful place but they have had a lot of issues with draughts and water loss in the recent years

use a knot from any fishing site about how to start a reel. it is a clinching knot but I cannot remember the name right now, sorry.

then do as Marco suggests...most spearos that Iknow who use reels will keep the reel tight and it functions like the shockcord on a nonreel gun. then you have a normal shooting line and you use the reel primarily after the shot for playing a green fish.

try to look at the reel and gun and form specific questions, if you have any, so we can address the areas you dont understand.

One day I will surely take you up on that

Nice. Thanks

it is the lake formed by the hoover dam

wow, it is so cool the way the enviroment you dive in has so many different things happening so close together...there are few places with rocky reefs and sea grasses together and kelp is just fantasty shit to me

thanks for the awesome pics

I took your advice and shortened the screw...i still left it about a full thread longer than needed to allow for a washer...as you can see from the pic. the 3/4" washer goes beyond the cut out area and should disperse any flex passed the weakest part of the mask...i hope
