Muy buena pesca! Lamento el no poder haber ído. Pregunta que hago...cuantos miembros del "Asesino Spearfishing Team"?;)

Yeah but it would be a bitch to get my hands on some of that wood!
...oh shit, I set myself up for this one...here comes Rolo with some explicit remark!
-
Why? Wood looks nicer...
Mostly due to lack of maintenance, durability and ruggedness.
-
Very nice, clean work on those handles Tin Man. Your work is enviable.

Oye Quarto Pollo:krezy:,
Nice arsenal as always. I thought you told me once you weren't into wooden handles. Check out TinMan's thread, it looks like he has some nice handles for sale.
You're right. I'm NOT into wooden handles however, the locals here have been doing a lot of self-education in the Spanish spearfishing forums and prefer them over plastic. Marco, Luis Candelario and crew nudged me into trying it again. Although they look sleek, I personally still prefer plastic over wood.

Julio, I like how you put the line release on the bottom, adapted the build to suit the user's needs. Versatility is the mark of a talented builder. How did you get the writing perfect like that?
The writing was freehand...a Dremel, a small ball-shaped bit and a steady hand;). Thanks for the compliments.

Lunker, must girls around here and Mexican northeast looks like that, no kidding. Baja Sur, Sonora and Sinaloa. It´s awesome, and since they are catholic, they worship men and family... Must people say Jessica Alba is gorgeous, that is the kind of girl we see around here every day, swear to God...!:flagmex:
Ok, I'm moving shop to Mexico!

Dan,
The guns are 56" stock length and yes, the line anchors are nailed (pressed) waaaay in there. There's no way a fish will pull those things out especially since the pull is coming from an approximate 90 degree angle.
-
Beautiful work. How does your line release work?
The line release is pretty much the same as the ones I normally do on the sides. Same principle. The reason I did it on the bottom is because the customer wanted a wider setting on the grip end and that would make the shooting line extend way out so I opted for an underside release to keep everything streamlined.
Thanks to all for the proper spelling
...I've only been here a year. The funny thing is that they wrote down what they wanted so that's exactly what they got. -
PS: I think the right spell is "salvaje" (in spanish).
I'll make sure and add the dot...thanks!The reason for it is that the bands are more in line with the shaft, easier to load being that the wishbones don't catch on the pins but mostly it's aesthetics.
Thanks for the comlpiments.

...with Envirotech finish....

Here's a pair of guns I recently built for some local spearos here in Puerto Rico.
Their nicknames are hilarious but catchy..."Frank Picúa and...Gata Salvaje" <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"> -
Let me guess...You went out of Las Croabas and headed to Icacos;)
