aw man, that is rough...at least you are making small steps towards a nice craft.

congrats on the bun in the oven

i love the solid wishbones on my adapted biller.
They make the loading super easy because they click in letting you know you are good to go. plus they dont break down at all

i am a big fan personally

i think it is all about the preparation....I have had some folks tell me that mack is gross and I think cero mack is one of the most delicious fish there is when eaten fresh and cooked nicely...I have had some stankin cobia and some that makes you want to beg for seconds. all in the cook if you ask me

I love the knife... i did the mods you showed me and I am very pleased...I was also inspired to try something and made myself a small backup ikijimi for the calf mount.

now all i need is to get my ass back in the water.

hahaha.

slaying them with your spear.....in and out of the water.

love the vertical snapper

any follow up report pargo?

I was very intrigued by this idea and I was wondering how it turned out

RA composite reel for me. But at the same I also use what I feel is the ultimate float, my 16f yak. I have a 150f poly anchor line on the yak and therefore am almost always within 150f of my yak with flag. I swim holding my 3lb anchor, see a fish or good spot and descend very easy with the anchor, then shoot the fish, let go of the anchor and surface. I pull my fish up fast and by that time have drifted down current very close to the yak and simply drop the fish into my fish dry bag with ice in the yak. My 16f yak with a full size [22x24in] dive flag is easier to spot by a boater, gets me out there at 5mph per GPS

watching this process take place is truly awesome..the man is a well oiled machine..

haha /\

i am in for whatever..that sounds like a lot of fun and I'll be driving up all three days

sweet..I was just curious about the deployment..is it somehow automated or do you intend to be able to pull it if you find yourself in a moment of panic?

well, that sounds like more than enough for me, I think i am in favor of as little weight as possible, so that is a great start for me.

I took off the bungee netting to use with the other board I'm making and I'm keeping the flag. If you want the board you're welcome to it. I'm in Ft. Lauderdale, pm to let me know if and when you want to pick it up.

amazing man, thanks.... PM coming

I've never used a weight belt before, I was always weirded out by it, but I have done a lot of research and think I'm ready...I don't know about how to determine the amount I'd need.. I weigh 220 and am 6'4".. I am usually slimmer than that, but new job and grad school forced me out of the gym for a while.

any insight? how much do 6 of them weigh?

Don't really need the inflatable. We were getting ready to go off the beach spearin the other day and a beautiful lady in a very small bikini kept smiling at me= I asked her if she wanted to go out spearin with us, she said '' no but ýou can stay here with me instead'. I hesitated for just a second, but decided to go spearin instead
I figured I would be safer in the water:)

you might have been right, it is never comfortable when the spearo finds himself the HUNTED....although if you are talking about some of those lovely visions from Dania, you might be a fool hahaha

are those sweet weights back around tin man...I might need to put together an order if possible

hey Dan, I think I might be able to mod your existing float to make it suit my needs...if you are still looking to get rid of it to a home that will show it good use and love, shoot me a PM

so Hau do you wear that under your wetsuit?

is it a safer way to dive?
I ask because it would seem like you would need to be awake/consious to use it and that is not the case in a blackout scenario, or is this just for the last moment of consiousness to get you to the surface?

to resurrect the oldie...I think this is a great idea, with even more applications...think about how easy it would be to rinse down your gear with one of these bad boys, and even a place to do the initial dry out.

if you want to try to get these sold on ebay, I would be happy to help you take the pics and rig it up with a few different set ups and uses.

it would also be sweet if you could add an acc. tray for beach side filleting and such...just a though, but it might be do-able if you just put two horizontal supports on two legs and just laid a cutting board across.

regardless, great vision and execution

thanks for the review..I hat eto resurrect an old thread, but I have been reluctant to get any weight belt and this thread has opened my eyes to some really good ideas..thanks again

if you sir are getting forgettful....well, I only hope I can ever be as sharp as you are now

hau- would you mind giving me two as well, one yellow and one any color..

thanks a ton man
