    Its called Offshore Angler Extreme 400# 1.8mm
    I think I got it at BassPro.


    Awesome..I checked and mine is 2.2mm so I would gain .4 with the switch. that should be enough...I might ask you to give me a short length of a few inches, just to make a swage on the spear and verify that it engages the mech.

    Also maybe trying some 300# mono. I believe theres no need for 400# mono as long as you check your line often.


    You might be right, but I really like the security...it is a mental thing i think

    Wow, that's amazing. Blow guns must be more formidable than I realized. Or else you are raising our own poison dart frogs. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">


    haha, maybe poison, just a really lucky shot... I was out with a buddy shooting bufo toads so they didn't kill our dogs..the dart was loaded in the tube as we walked passed a large hedge, maybe 20 yards long and about 40 doves took off in front of us and went out about 15 ft across our path from right to left and turned towards us...the one I shot was about 10 ft out and one of the closer ones...the shot went under his wing and straight into his lung and out the back...he dropped, maybe there was bufo on the dart? my redneck buddy just ran and grabbed it and asked if he could have it cos "damn, man these doves are tasty in stew!!" so I gave it to him...I'm squeemish about field dressing above-water animals ?(

    for sure....I know that metaphor well, nice rhetorical device :toast:



    BTW, I shot down a bahamian dove, on the wing, with a blow gun.


    once in a lifetime shot, possibly the best shot on anything I have ever taken <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

    Great replies gang, thanks a lot.


    I really loved this gun and was sort of just caught up when I got my RA...they were both 120's and for whatever reason (excitement of getting something new I suppose) I went with the RA.


    I really love this gun, it has so much personality and is, now especially, one of a kind.


    Davie, I would love to grab those inserts from you... I grabbed some brass ones because they were the cheapest I could find (and Spearitco ships very fast) but I dont have a lot of faith that they would last very long.


    Tinu- that is awesome that you had a good experience with this equipment, I am pleased too. thanks for the tips as well. Where do you get your 390p mono?


    Larry and Dan-that is a good tip about the thinner mono. I would love to give it a try, but you can just PM me the name and I 'll grab some rather than make you part with any.


    The shaft is a 7.5mm, I have always preferred a 7.5 shaft for strength(resistance to bending) and added impact power- However, because it is a Rob Allen shaft, I cannot do anything to modify it and will have to think about either thinner mono or a thinner shaft.


    One thing that didn't really come across in the pictures is how cool the site picture is now with the euro muzzle opened up...Dan and I both noted how it looked like little badass horns or something and added a cool area to the view down the barrel.


    I am an instinct shooter more than an aimer and this gun used to be about as perfect an extension of my body as I could imagine. I hope it has only gotten better:)

  • Range, one vs two wraps of shooting line

    I agree with you Marco, I dont take long shots really either... To me, the advantage of this is that it gives you the option to take the longer shot without too much added work or likelihood of tangles...I dont think I will be doing this to my guns, but I like it way better than two full wraps.

  • Modified Tito Wood Euro gun speargun

    With special thanks to Dan, the Tito is back in activity.


    Now with a new open muzzle, line plate and groove. plus i added a safe euro band for inline shooting...it will have the 19mm band on it as well when i dive and the muzzle will be screwed on...I removed the screws when we did the work and haven't replaced them yet.


    I am very pleased with how it turned out.


    I did find out that this Mundial handle will not accept the RA spear with 400lb mono:angry5: not a big deal, just re-rigged it w 600lb Qpowerline.
