there are a few factors and each muzzle can be better for many configurations.

speed of reload- for me the open is faster but I have seen commercial guys who used the closed muzzle and could reload in like 3 seconds.

shaft type- for a small closed muzzle you must be using notched shafts for a large closed you can used a notched shaft, pinned or mini sharkfins, and an open muzzle can use all shafts

line arrangement- in a closed muzzle you have more option to route the shooting line, in an open muzzle you need to use it for securing the shaft

line shaft vs freeshaft- only line shaft for open muzzle guns

aiming picture- I like the open picture an open muzzle given but I have heard spearos say they can aim easier with a closed muzzle cos it acts like a front site.

I'm sure there are more, but it is largely preference

good thread idea

wow steve that is really cool..I wish that we could have gottem more eggs into our reefs for more edibles, but that is a really really cool way to use the row(roe)

way to keep it real out there guys

Dan, i felt like we all had this convo before...i wasn't really advocating the 30" air gun as much as suggesting that if Jamie wanted a little air gun, he shouldn't go smaller than that. should have been clearer...I still recommend just diving with the gun and using it as a marker for the holes...that's what I do...I suck at catching lobsters though so I never am far from my gun

a 30 inch pneumatic would have plenty of punch and would be easy to dive with a tickle stick

spearing vertical snappers again?

songs of innocence? i love william blake, nice reference Monster..thanks for that...I need to dig out my old Blake and re-enjoy

perfect, that works well

Hey Dan, feel free to destroy this thread or modify it into a new one if you like my idea.

I came across this thread on SB

http://www.spearboard.com/showthread.php?t=65099&highlight=float&page=3

and realized that between our esteemed host, our master fabricators, Don, and a few others, we really like to make shit.

why not have a DIY section where we can share ideas, successes and failures, to improve our gear selection and knowledge.

If you think it will clutter up the board, that's cool too, but at least make a thread here with the float info from the SB post

you are a visionary Gris..and an artist to boot.

i personally like a well bent spoon...mine spins tightly while making a slow spiral...small fish cannot ignore it and when they all move a few bigguns often follow...I'll take a pic later

haha, yeah.. ihave flasher tape on my old fins and I would always find mack on my 6...I figured there were sharks too, but if i don't see 'em....

cudas are reason enough to never want any flash near my face or neck, they are strong sharp and dumb...bad combo.

plus that story/myth about the skindiver who had his throat slashed because of a big chain necklace :@

yeah, the water was very clear and suprisingly well lit...or is that infared?

Jaime...that must have been wild...I've used both and it is the difference between tunnel vision and fisheye!! night and day...I think the micro has the best field of vision of any mask I've used.

Attan- to beat the moustache issue. I keep a tub of vasaline in my car and when my moustache is longer, a smear across the upper lip and there is not a drop of leakage...it is an old scuba trick, but it works well for my hairy face too

be careful Alan..bulls scare me way more in 15 ft than in 30....dont really know why...I guess the lack of room feels like it can force a confrontation..

congrat Fishmaster...glad t osee you have an awareness about how expensive this can get and are taking it slow...

get to know your gear...it is the difference between life and death...take it slow and dive safely friend

yeah, I would have at least kicked it...what a bush...then again, at 266 ft, Im sure things are a lot scarier

just make sure a lifeguard sees you..with those winds it would be very hard to get into shore if trouble kicks up...be careful Jamie

good idea Charlie...that way you add some vibration too. nice

beautiful..that thing is a cannon, yet it looks capable of precision shooting..amazing Gris...

cant believe you were shafted by some 1 lbers...

nice to hear..we weren't questioning your judgment, just expressing our concern.

I'm sure you guys who have taken the class relish the chance to safely test your "pure freediving" abilities

With your permission Steve I'm going to correct that for the search engines.

Stop looking Harold, they will be the last fins you buy

best fins ever. I love mine...
