I have seen some guys make their tuna and marlin leaders using that same technique. Its a great knot especially if you don't have tools for crimping. I know it holds well with mono filament as I use it a lot. My only concern is how well will it hold in dyneema and other braid lines.

I thought this was an interesting find. Go to 4:25 if you don't want to watch the whole video.

Yeah, and I reclaimed a little yardage for the Cave.
Mandy told me last night; '' Don't you go near my Pilates bench'':nono:Cheers, Don
HAHAHA! That's hilarious. You are very resourceful.

It looks like surf and turf to me. Fish and Bear steak. Chicken and chicken of the sea. I try to eat wild game as much as I can.
These adds are ridiculous and I don't think many will look at them except as mentioned earlier spearos and sensationalists. Spearos because we impact the fishery the least and are being indirectly targeted by the loons and sensationalist because it gets a rise out of anyone who sees it. -
That is pretty amazing.

Thanks for the picture Dan. That looks like a nice sock. I wear a size 12 in most shoes a 13 in Nike and work boots but I am an 11 with this last pair of body glove dive socks. Where would I fall in your size chart for a 3mm sock?

I am of no help but good luck. It should be a lot of fun.

Hahaha. Great minds, my friend, they think alike.
Akonas can be found on eBay but I am prolly going speardiver next.
One small concern I have is that my toe nails are often in need of a trim. I just make a foot fist when donning my wetsuit but would dragon toenails damage an open cell bootie?
The long toe nails was also a concern of mine. Especially with how fragile the open cell foam is.

What a great day. Ono is some of the best eating too.

Wow. You guys are getting them non stop. That's great! What an awesome day.

Nice video. Very cool to get so close and play with such a graceful animal.

I use the divers direct store brand 3mm socks... evo i think. Id just get some crocs or something to wear between your car and the water so you dont wreck the socks fast.
I use some old nikes to get around in but the walk between the shore and nikes still tears up the socks pretty good.

I am wearing Mares Razor fins if that is of any help in decision making. I have been diving with size 11, 3mm, bodyglove, closed cell style dive socks and they have kept me warm even in Northern California while abalone diving. However they are starting to fall apart because I do a lot of walking on rocks, gravel and dirt. I have been thinking about getting the open cell style socks to replace the beat up ones I have, however, I know how I slip in my open cell wetsuit. I don't want to experience that when I need sure footing walking over boulders and rocks in the surf zone. The things I need from a sock are durability from walking on ruff surfaces, non slip exterior and interior, warmth, calf high length, and 3mm thickness. What would you recommend? Thanks.

Looks like you have a freezer full. Good job.
