damn, I never heard or read this...scary...was there any follow up with riffe, any issue with the mech?

the slings are allowed for protection NO?

I am very scared of certain fish, like macks snappers and groupers, I would certainly need a sling to protect myself from those monsters

That's what I'm interested in seeing!!!!

You could start a thread(with pics) on kayak rigging and set ups tips...

http://spearfishing.world/boat…-rigging-suggestions.html

or you could use the magical search button and VIOLA!! haha, just kidding, here are some of my older mods...as soon as i find my camera again I'll get some more pics up for you

sounds delicious...I will be adding to this section too, I forgot it was here (D'oh!)

here is my report on the muzzle

I had another great day with the white muzzle on saturday and i used the spike too. Fortunately not a shark, but I had shot a nice sized hog and it hit him a little high and he tore the spear out through the back..he was dazed and I was already swimming in to collect him and the spear so rather than try to grab the spear and stab him, i just went thwack and stuck the muzzle spike right into his head and down into the sand. done. grabbed him, removed the spike and swam up to the surface feeling satisfied about the one that didn't get away --- as afar as a difference between the colors,none as far as the fish or functionality....I think i like the white better for three reasons.
one it gives me better contrast at the end of the gun or sighting the fish , I seem to see the spear a lot better against the white and that speeds the aiming
two it has a distinct way of IDing the gun in a pile of guns on a boat..mine was the only white muzzle to be sure
three I think it looks cool, as silly as it sounds..i like the all black cos it is very sinister and low profile, but i feel the white is cooler and that makes me cooler by association

all in all, I think the white has a real nice advantage in the sight picture and I like it

might work for small fish. . . or perhaps just the flopper could be hardened steel so it is stronger...it is so small that a crazy hard metal could be used and not bump the cost up too much

wow, that is intense...good work as a dive buddy and way to stay safe....i hope your buddy remembered to clean out the old wetsuit

drill a slot in the top of the spear and make a new slimmer flopper that fits in the slot. drill the spear across the slot and insert a pin.

here are some paint sketches

first is the spear from above, then from the side.
then flopper from the side and flopper from above..the end of the flopper whould have to be slightly raised like RA floppers to make the flopper engage

that was nice man...looks like you are very skilled, esp for such little training.

keep at it ....and keep with the videos:)

sweet fish

the stuff is called swimmers ear, i believe
or maybe it treats swimmers ear?

either way, say swimmer's ear to the pharmacy employee

please greek, show show show

i love the vids you post, you certainly make the bubble gun look cool

Happy birthday brother....you dont look a day older than 58

to many more happy year

Not if you're using an enclosed track gun.

I don't like tricut, the tip bends too easily and requires constant filing. I find myself hesitating too much when taking shots that could hit the reef bottom. I think it may even affect trajectory the same way a flopper with its lip sticking out does. Getting similar penetration for my purposes from a pencil point is just a matter of sharpening it. The kind of extra penetration provided by a tri cut I think is only necessary with very big fish?

I shoot my RA tricut into all sorts of rocks and have never had an issue with it...maybe different brands dull differently?

sorry to resurrect this thread, but cant someone thread their own spear to fit these tips? i have no real knowledge about threading SS or spring steel, but to have replacable and sharp tips for that cheap would be worth a bit more on the cost of the shaft..

anyone want to order some from Torres J/k

good looking out as always Jeff

i know my friend has been interested in the Naida...I will call him and ask if I should buy that one in his proxy...

what amazes me is the fact that the fish turned broadside in the time it took the spear to get there, that is incredible...Im sure it had to do with the fact it saw the shot first, but that is still crazy.

cool video

awesome write up. i very much want to take one of these classes, time and money have just not allowed me to yet...thanks and congrats for your new skills, use them safely and responsibly

that is a sexy looking gun right there.
beautiful. thanks for sharing

what is the purpose of said lube...doesn't your ear already have wax in it ?
