  • RAT grip custom handle material

    Dan, I don't know about the price point you are looking for, but I will say this, this stuff is great for exactly what you just outlined
    "easy to apply material that will make a wood or plastic speargun handle more grippy" i used about half the material that Foggy used and it makes the handle go from just usable to comfortable.

    Rfoggy- the only thing about the handle for spearing that is a drawback are the few times where one might be using a different finder to shoot. there are occasions when I flip my gun upside down and use my thumb to pull the trigger while I try to see into a crevase from another hole...it is not a damning thing by any means, but it is a situation where the more built up handle could interfere. on 99% of all spearing applications it would either help or make no difference but in this one limited situation it could be a negative.



    I am going to try using a bit of this stuff on my polespear to make a fixed grip...interested to see how or if it works for that application

    Lunker can you do hands free clearing? not many people can.


    yeah, I can, but i have to really focus on it and, as such, I usually dont do it when diving. what usually happens is I will dive and clear hands free on the way down, but as soon as I am looking for fish I switch to using my hand because it requires no thought..the other downside is that I have to clear my mask separatley and that is annoying.


    I figured out how to do it one day in my elevator at my condo..it is 17 floors so my ears need to be cleared at least once on the ride... I kind of swallowed without swallowing and my ears cleared...a big shiteating grin crossed my face as soon as I realized what I'd done and now i practice whenever possible

    welcome aboard.


    throwing crabs on strong line into Haulover on a falling tide, right as everything starts getting pulled out of the inlet...GREAT snook fishing <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

  • Equalizing

    i do this all during the day with the frenzel technique...basically just clear my ears about 100 times a day to practice hands free clearing...who knew it could also be training my eardrums to equalize easier



    but, by extension, wouldnt having "limber" ear drums make you more suseptible to the pressure in the first place?

    thanks guys


    Dan two turtles screwing is that magical moment I was looking for


    i hear you jamie...I know most of us agree too, it can be an amazing day of diving without ever pulling the trigger around here, we are blessed with some virbant oceans and good enough viz to appreciate it <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

    that is interesting Dan... Iwonder if there is a close connection between the massive bluewater cannons and sniper rifles..it certainly is a more apt comparison than to a reef gun.



    I was thinking to myself something along the same lines...I feel bad having such a nice handle when i essentially dont aim <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> it is more reflex shooting. seems like the handle is better than Iam

  • RAT grip custom handle material

    the area that you have built out under the pinkie, is there anything in there as support or does the material build on to itself that well?


    i didnt want to add too much material to the bottom for fear that it wouldnt hold onto itself, clealry that is not an issue^^
