i kow that Dan McMahon uses a ss screw drilled into the stock of his gun (wood) on the bottom to keep the second banf out of the way, I knom you aren't going to drill a screw into the RA tube, but maybe you could mount a tab/fin of some sort on the bottom of the barrel for the band to be secured there.
just a thought
so you live in a spearfishing paradise populated by the most beautiful women around...NOT fair
hahaha
awesome...how much does the stuff run for?
Man, that spearguns look as beautiful as Marlene Favela!!
A.K.A. Gata Salvaje!!
NO...the guns are beautiful, but not THAT beautiful...she is a stunner :thumbsup2:
too many:censored2: thoughts
i have em and I love em...they can be tiring on long surface swims but they eat current alive and are amazing for the price point..plus they are abundant used for a steal
beautiful work there man..I like the CF and teak, organic looks but science strong..awesome
yes, it is an addiction and it must be treated accordingly
hau, you are an inspiration to me buddy 
I hope to be able to get out friday afternoon or at the least twice this weekend
Moved it to the boat section.
i wasn't sure if folks considered kayaks actual boats
pm me your address and I'll send you what you need in a few days
here are some things I have done to enhance my yak/spearo existence
feel free to pm me for any instructions or additional pics.
thought I would share these for anyone else who is looking to gear up their kayak- i know I love looking through the net for ideas so I thought I would add some pics for others to use
first is a quick access for the rear hatch (I tend to only use the front one for extra gear as i prefer not to have weight in the front)
I came up with this for the ability to get into it very quickly and easily (even when wearing gloves) and still have it secure and there is an option to make it extra tight if you are in rough water.
open:
closed normally :
closed tightly:
this is just a quick shot of the anchor trolley, some reflective tape (adds a lot of visibility ESPECIALLY at night, and the drain plug
this is a really nice speargun holder- it is just two hook and loop straps (97 cents at west marine) 2 ss washer and 2 rivets. I run one through the trigger and around the stock and the other just around the top of the stock (sometimes through the bands) and the gun is not going anywhere.
the red arrows point to them and the blue is just a regular paddle holder rig
up close
and here is a really easy to make paddle holder that I made out of pieces of scrap
excellent..I really like the integrated floatline holder and the reinfocement is genius..very good idea right there.
looks awesome man, I hope you get back there if you are missing it, I hope I get there one day as it looks like a nice spot to dive
thanks for the pics
if I see such a fish Dan, I will figure something out :).
I should be blessed to have that problem often
the nice thing is that most reef fish will fit, they bend, and if the bucket already has a few fish in it, I am close to having all the fish I need at that point.
thanks for that advice...I have a pad that I made, it is just a foam flipflop that I cut in half and glued in my wetsuit. It was impossible before I added the pad.
I am using the technique they lay out on the RA site, thanks for the tutorial though.
I just need to get it down, I can tell that I have the strength, but the form makes such a difference. I loaed it 4 times and two of them were awful, I was literally seeing stars i havd to exert so much, the other two times were a struggle, but I had glimpses of how easy it can be with proper technique....oh well, just another excuse to get out and dive more often..
"but honey, I have to go, I need to practice my loading form :)"
here is my new killing tool...I am a big fan, but I need a lot of practice with the loading, it kicked my ass today
you are a monster hau...ONLY...ha
here is my dinner guest
i made this rig for holding my fish...i tow it behind my flag float..it is intended to keep all the shark attracting juice in the bucket and out of the water...i am very happy with it
glad you got a nice hog though.
i would believe it if there were some pics
i can't see the pic
