Okay I can't seem to find any good drawing or sketch programs for the phone so I will try to describe what I am talking about. Ill use the standard clock for vectors.

Okay so I am pursuing a fish who takes off towards 1:30. I don't think I can chase him so I take my spoon and stick my arm out to the right and flick it away or just drop it and I will swim in the direction of 10:30. The idea being that the fish will see the shiny object spinning and spiraling down and head to it or at least look at it and turn. While I am swimming parallel to the fish I have a second to get the shot off.

Many times the fish will turn and then immediately resume its original vector but at least one of three times they will full stop and sometimes change directions

Spoon pic later

Good info on the spoon
I never had a camo suit and so far I've done OK. On my last suit, having it with camo was streaching the budget so I got it without... My take on it is that at the least, camo won't be worse then not camo so my next suit will have camo
Also it look's cool

Yeah. There is no disagreement that it looks cool!!

Thanks guys, soon I will have evidence that I had sex at least once!

With a woman. Hahaha. Way to go sir!! I hope he or she arrives healthy and perfect

Epic. Very nicely done! Good move using the anchor line. Very quick thinking

Plus one for the jealously list. What part? Tuscany?

I will take a picture of my spoon and try to sketch what I mean. After work

I would check it out. I went snorkeling there when I visited a friend in vet school and I could have done very well with even a polespear

Sounds like you have a cool family history do you know any cool stories?

Judesolo but I am not very active

I have one of the first editions of the board and I did occasionally get some water i added a ring of clear silicon and it is dry as can be now

Very interesting Pete. I hate cable. I find it brittle and kink prone and just temperamental
I understand it has purposes but I hope to avoid them.

Great thread btw. I have learned a lot.

Look into the permit. Well figure how to get you a gun. Piece by piece if needed

George how do you make that into a loop

None of the Speardiver guns have it, so no. Also none of the wood guns I built in the past. The replaceable wishbone system is better all around for these reasons.
1. You can adjust the length of the wishbone ie. shorten/lengthen the bands without cutting rubber.
2. The wishbone can be replaced on the water if necessary. I always keep a couple of extra wishbones in my kit.
3. Wishbone often wears out faster than the rubber, you can quickly change it without cutting/retying the bands.
4. The band insertion slot weakens the speargun muzzle, with tie-in wishbones it's not necessary.

I agree with all of the above. I was asking because I have a hard time keeping the total length down. How long is your replaceable bit?

Dan you use the one piece wishbones right? Not the loops and replaceable bones

I have gone through and looked at a lot of pics and I think my wishbones ( loops and replaceable dyneema) are a bit long.

Is that a bit of an ab shell? Very nice.

I would like to hear from hau about this! Lol. He has probably one of the baddest, most respect-inducing
mustaches I've ever seen, akin to Tom Selleck.

Ha jahaha so right. I bet he's too busy winning triathlons and dating women half his age!!! A stach like that is a badge of honor!

Welcome. Nice to have you. Lots of big gun build fans around here. Share some of your creations

Awesome. I really like that

Quote from Marco

I like 2 x 16 mm (5/8") on my guns. Cut them "standard" and if you can load them easy, cut them shorter. Fresh, good bands will have enough power for that shaft.

Speardiver small ID bands are "da-bomb".

Amen

Welcome. My understanding of cayman laws was that locals could get a permit to spear. Has that changed?
