  • what type of kayak should I get???

    the scupper holes are the holse that allow water to pass through the kayak, they will be easy to id under the kayak



    that kayak has four, so it is the new one and it looks to be in great shape!! i would say give it a once over(especially the bottom) in person and ask if they will take 300, and if not, go for it..it looks un used

    the hole on the trippod mount is 7mm deep but it only accepts 6mm of the screw..the mount is about 1 mm about the pad so shortening the screw 2mm would get it snug in the pad...not a lot of screw in the other mounts though for stability...might not be worth it...you need me to send you these parts too jeff?

    howya doin oscar, nice to have you....take your time as you get into the sport and do not get hung up on gear but you will out grow that gun quite quickly around our waters. it will be a great tool to learn the fundamentals of stalking fish with :)


    there are a lot of very open and knowledgeable spearos on here so if you are sure to learn a lot.


    thanks for your service on all fronts too

    Quote from Tin Man

    Would it be helpful if I supplied the mounts with the rubber pad loose? That way, you could just peel the protective layer off the VHB tape and stick it on whichever side you prefer?


    no, truely your mount is perfect..it is their mount that is too shallow, if your screw was just a hair shorter it would be a perfect fit...I'll measure the crap out of the tripod mount tonight and update here

    Jeff, the screw and the housing you have are fine...I will explain with a picture later...it is the tripod mount that is just not deep enough..shortening the screw by ____________(length to be added once i use my calipers later) would be a perfect fix.



    Dan- you know how poorly I handled the hacksaw at your house...i reluctantly cut metal :) I was honestly afraid I would destroy the screw and it wasn't worth it given how easy the fix was for me.
    clearly using the tripod mount is superiour bc, as you said, you can adjust side to side as well.
    One thing I like about my rig is that I can mount the camera higher in relation to the gun without the bracket interfering with the bands. and theoretially I could mount two camera on it, one facing the target, one facing me or the side...not really an application screaming for use, but an idea I had rolling around in my noggin

    Dan- Tinman's mount is not a plug and play compatable item with this mount...the exposed threads on Jeff's mount are longer than the total depth of the tri pod mount so once you fully screw the mount into the screw it is not firmly secured...it moves freely from left to right....I solved this by flipping Jeff's mount and adding the gopro mount to the underside...I will add pics to clarify




    seadub- that fix is a bag that has a flat lens...supposedly he has a "bag-less" fix that will be released tomorrow, don't know about that yet though

    nice initial impression...I look forward to deeper review.


    good luck in concluding the season, we all know you have worked as hard as the little slugger <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

  • PoleSpears- Ray odor

    as another note, I spoke with Dustin (or Gatku) who is also a very nice guy, about his spears and about having a longer rear section to add more draw length. He was awesome in his reply because he was honest, what he said was that I could use the rear half of a 9 or 10 foot spear and simply add my short front. I explained that I need a smaller breakdown for the yak and he said it just wouldnt work. the 1/2 inch aluminium is not going to be able to take the increased stress at the joints it would have to be one piece. I was very greatful for his advice and honesty, but I fear the spear I want doesn't really exist

  • PoleSpears- Ray odor

    good stuff guys, thanks for the info...
    ....Fuzz, you mentioned the crist spears. I have held Aaron's spears and spoken with him at length about them (very very nice guy) and just from holding them I felt they were exceptionally well made. what are your thoughts about them?
    I need a breakdown spear personally, but I feel like Aaron's are light enough to not fall into the Puig/ odor category, but still kick ass.
