You can drill it, just need a carbide bit. Here's one for $4 at Lowes http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=122417-353-HCBG01&lpage=none&cm_mmc=search_gps-_-gps-_-gps-_-Bosch-1/8%22-Carbide-Masonry-Drill-Bit If you want buy it and come to my place to do the work. I think I have a 1/8 SS rod. The RA shaft shouldn't rust too badly around the hole.

Just be careful with the bit and don't drop it. I once ordered an expensive one online. When I got the package the bit was stuck in its plastic pouch. I shook the pouch to dislodge the bit and make it come out, it fell on the floor and broke in 3 pieces. I was still able to use one broken piece to drill a hole. It works like a miniature grinding wheel.

that is very good info right there pargo..this might deserve its' own little thread about how to drill a shaft...in the non xrated sense <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

i handled this gun at the blue wild and i was impressed...I think if you travel a lot or move a lot and want a quality gun but know you will get slammed on the travel fees with a sporttube, this might be ideal..it was real solid when assembled and I pulled the bands back (no shaft of course) and the stock did feel like it was one piece...for what it is worth

where you thinking about heading dan?

i like the protective shirts and hats personally...I think a nic s unguard will make me feel so much more comfy cos I know if I am wearing it is effective, no worries about water or sweat or time leaving me vulnerable

looks like a nice haul foir what you describe as a fishless day, way to persevere

ps-- underarmor make a great longsleeve shirt that is either plain or camo, it is 50+spf and in summer water it is the best thing to dive in. it is basically super lycra i think. I found a bunch in silly colors very cheap at marshall's

dont forget me

I'll be coming solo i guess...ill text ben to see if he wants to come too

HELL YEAH>>>THAT IS THE JAM

:hau:

i am in for sat and sunday this weekend...spearos, who is in and where are we headed?

can we change the name of this smiley :old: to Hau, the resemblence is uncanny LOL

we were not too far from shore, second reef.

we were in 10-15 most of the day, off the structure it might have been around 18

the viz was decent, it was a huge improvement from the other two days that i felt like it was amazing. it was about 20ft but a lot of particles

there were about 1-2ft leaving the inlet but after an hour it was 3ft easy. the current wasn't too bad but there a strong surge on the bottom. made it a challenge to search out the bugs cos you'd get pushed up occasionally

sorry it wasn't a Hau caliber report....I have to step it up next time

i would love to spend a week or two just trying to get a personal understanding of what you just said

MMMMMmmmm tasty

got out tuesday with exequiel and David. We went on david's boat, very nice, and had a great time in spite of not coming home with any bugs
got a nice mixed bag in about 3 hours of diving. good times

hell yeah, bourdain is a great writer and he has a nice book too.

I love sha'warma esp in a laffa (the big thick bread)
of course I really love all the food in israel

that little clip has me starved...that pineapple on top sounds really good

of course....that makes good sense. I hope I was clear in that you could have the shafts I have for free, I would need you to cover the shipping though.

just let me know if those shafts don't fit the bill and we'll figure something out

how thick are you looking? I have two of the JBL adapt a shaft numbers, they are like 8mm thick and threaded male on both ends...they are about 60 inches, you could cut one in half and have two 30 threaded sections

let me know if you want one or both

damn glass ocean while I am stuck inside...hopefully this will improve on yesterday's AWFUL viz

hau said it was 12 ft but I would call it a lot closer to 8, maybe 12 once you were holding the bottom. aspetto was the only chance yesterday and I still didn't see anything. while dropping Icould barely see the tip of my gun outstretched

mine is mounted through hull style, so I lose the temp function which does suck, but I know I have no leaks

I have a 12v 8 mamp hour batt that lasts two or three outings without a charge, about 4 hours each time

sure thing man...i don't know if you can see it in those pics, if not I'll add some..it is a single green bungee that I wrap under the board and clip into the padeyes.

athough I have a tough time getting the bucket out at the end of the day. I think it would hold just fine without anything, the bungee is really for extra peace of mind

i will promise you a few picks by the end of the weekend
