can you post pics of the odor broken down please?

I am intrigued about how you would assemble the parts

Btw Joe, your son does the sport of spearfishing proud, i have been floored by some of his speeches...you have done very well and should be quite proud

i hate to further digress, but I was shooting one 19mm and one 5/8" band on my tito on saturday and I tried several combinations. I shot with just the 5/8 (inline band, tied for 3x stretch) for working the shallow reefs at the end of the day (short shots 2-7 ft), the one 19mm band (Rob Allen brand) which gives me solid power to the end of the shooting line (single wrap) and both bands together.

I really enjoyed shooting with both of the bands together as it was the most powerful setup I have shot and had very good results...I was wondering if you think that might be over powered for a 7.5 mm shaft?

the gun is a wooden stock 120cm euro, foam ballasted

Hey Joe, glad to have ya. Any friend of the Don
We dont do drama over here, just a lot of good discussion and childish humor.

touche Steven, you must be one of those "more advanced" spearfishermen <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

of course, you, in the sand at the edge of a reef, was not what I meant, I was referring to some fool in the middle of a sandy desert just waiting for nothing to show up...you know kinda like me <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">

very well said Tinu. I agree.

especially about all the skills that go into being a good and well rounded spearo...what good is a diver who can drop to 150' but doesnt know where on the fish to shoot? or a diver with a 5 minute bottom time who sits and does aspetto in the middle of the sand...great points

the handle looks like a great candidate for a product like the RAT grips...definately needs some help

the cod's body looks like a huge Largemouth Bass which is confusing as well

my best suggestion...if you want, dismantle the guns so they fit into a pvc tube as well and you will be quite secure.

anything better would be a sporttube and those will cost you an arm and a leg

i think that this is a great distinction Dan. I am a much better freediver for spearing than I am for lobstering and I think it has a lot to do with what I am focused on and my mental state

interesting distinction.

well then, the idea of will freediving for depth help freediving for spearfishing is quite a pickle...i think yes but very little...it does in the way that any extensive freediving experience at any other task will help each other task a little

i understood that, perhaps i was not clear in my comment. i assumed, and perhaps this is where we disagree, that there were some physiological skills that are learned as an "advanced" freediver in addition to the mental. Understanding that 80%(or whatever % you want) of it may be mental, that there was still some percentage of it that was physical.

i just assume that those who have learned those skills from strictly freediving can apply them to spearfishing to some benefit, even if it is small.

i think that Dan and Carla are not necessarily saying mutually exclusive things:

-You do not NEED to be an "advanced" freediver to be a world class spearo

-Being an "advanced" freediver will not hurt your ability to be a world class spearo, it will only help

both of these statements are the crux of your positions and they are both hard to disagree with.

-you DO NOT need to be an "advanced" freediver to spear big fish or small fish well....also true.

I think that Carla makes a very good point about the ability to dive deep making it easier to dive shallow and then expand your focus into hunting..makes sense.

a lot of the reason spearos do their shooting in 100ft or less is probably as much a function of efficiency as anything else...it takes a long time to dive to 100 ft and back up, why do it if there are fish shallower?

that is crazy $hit tinu, thanks for sharing that...seriously nuts how much roe they produce that quickly:@:@:@

that was one of my questions Dan. how do you ingress(enter) and egress(leave)? over the tubes?

it would seem that is the only way in the above boat

EDIT*** i realized that I tend to use strange and uncommon words, this is a personal choice, i very much like language and words and I enjoy them a great deal. however, it just occured to me that one of the best things about this forum are the international members and I dont want to make things tougher for you guys who are speaking several languages or using translate programs.

I will always try to add simpler words as well, or only use more basic words, but please don hesitate to aks me or tell me if I have chosen a word that means nothing to you all the best

mrmike---thank you sir.
That may be exactly what I am looking for.
Can your dad spot weld a small pin to the top of my SS spear also?
I can pay cash for any fabrication
I'll get back to you in the next day or so.
Again thank you

did your rest tab fail again?

that is some really cool stuff there , good find...that cooler rig is beautiful, very clean

welcome friend, glad to have you..I think you are our first Grecean spearo

I'll just chime back in to add that now after 100's more hours in the water I still love the fins and they are still impressing me
