cool Dan...pics of how you did it?

RIP

i think any flat lens will do..i would only be concerned about depth and pressure with using random plastic...the underwater housings have some standards...i hope

Bummer, thanks for doing this research Hau, those pipes are disgusting and I dont want to be anywhere near them :@

holy chit mang!!! that is fat ass 'hoo!!

that is a great model there John, the toyo bed track is marvel of engineering in and of itself.

I think the idea has a lot of practical use, especially because you can swap accessories at will, add a light to the front for crevices, a spike in sharky waters, a reel, a place for powerheads (dan Mcmahon style), or as mike said, adjust from mid handle to rear handle :@

none that jump to mind...it requires a double wrap, that is a drawback in the simplicity category, as a single wrap with a shortened length of wrap would almost surely be inadequate.

it would need to be a sharkfin shap too, to avoid any hang-ups as the line passes.

seems like a great idea Mike, what would be awesome would be an adjustable one that coulds be moved on the fly.

that's what i asked a few posts ago, huge mango or baby cube?

damn buddy so sorry to hear that...for now rest and therapy...eventually yoga and plyometrics..you'll be stronger than ever without being burdened by a bulky body

keep you spirits up man.

good tutorial

I always use the invisible triangle rule...

from above looking at the fish, imagine an equilateral triangle with the two eyes as the base and where the third corner would be, stab downward and wiggle a bit..wait for shake

here is a terrible picture to confuse you further

Alan, yes I was talking to you, thanks for the answer

Harry, that is a good point, the extra wrap does give you the option while you cannot add range to a shorter string...is that option worth the extra hassle? pretty much the meat and potatos of the issue

have you dove yet with the short line...you notice any shots that were held back by the line?

i should have been more clear, I don't think my 120 RA with two 5/8 bands should be shooting out that far...there are many many guns that are bigger or more powerful that can and should have more shooting line.

I have a 120 that Dan was kind enough to help me modify that I might have a 19mm band and a 5/8 band, so that would have some significant punch when fully powered up. I might need more reach with that, but idoubt I will want to shoot that far on the reefs I tend to dive....

if my spear hits the end of my shooting line then I shouldn't have taken that shot

at least with that gun...I don't know a damn thing, but.....i think the spear loses it's flat horizontal trajectory very quickly and if you are lobbing spears at fish, that seems like a shot I should not have taken because the likelihood of a shot that fails to penetrate well and wounded fish who gets away is a lot higher.

just personal opinion.

Thanks for the advice...I was going to make a pvc cover that will attach via the bungee, so I dont stab myself and so I dont lose the top

I agree Dan, it is un-necessary, but I wasn't going to was a bit of SS and I figured this way Ican keep this on the yak so if I swim up with a fish I haven't brained yet, there is another tool on the yak.

maybe I'll just add this to my filing skills as another one to save for my trip to the big house <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

I use one wrap for ease of reloading and simplicity of the rig...I have never felt the need for an additional wrap.

it seems to me to be a trade off ...a little extra range on long shots (short shots are not effected) vs a little extra work to reload and gather the fish.

Had to do something with the other piece of that stainless steel spatula <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

not a great tool, but I'll put a bungee on it and that will keep in on a dive belt, a decent loaner or spare to keep in the yak

wow, that is the worst picture ever, looked better smaller, sorry, I'll try again in the daytime

here are some pictures of the lure tape and the holoform tape that I referenced.
