That's cool Dan. Remember that every 10 meters is an increase of one atmosphere. That is a lot of pressure at 60 meters. I don't think an inflatable would suface after that kind of pressure. A 20 liter float would be 10L at 10 meters deep. Then 5L At 20 meters and 2.5 L at 30 meters and .65 L at 50 meters and .32L at 60 meters. That rob allen eventually resurfaced which is good but I dont know if an inflatable by itself would. Was that RA float a single float or did it have others attached to it?

If you look at the PSI it inflates to it is only a 2 atmosphere float. Inflation is set for 30 PSI.
1ATM=14.7PSI=1Bar It would have to be inflated to 45 PSI to be a true 3 atm floati. But they make 60 L sizes which will float 60 Kilos=132 lbs minus the weight of the float at sea level. That is a lot of floatation but would that be enough or maybe too much without a bungee for pelagics? -
they look nice but i don't have experience with them.

I have great footage fighting the two Yellowfin but none of actually shooting them
. I really have to focus to get them and the camera i forget to switch on. I will try harder to remember to switch on but i am in the water most times for 10 hrs on and off.To bad about not getting the shot but watching the fight is a lot of fun too.

Nice! Congrats on the Ono. Im looking forward to seeing more videos.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet and probably wont till I get into Kona. But here are a few pictures.

Eddie's probably talking about this one Meandros Power Trigger Mechanism W/ Loading Butt. Not sure why a Meandros mechanism would be necessary, the Laser trigger mechanism already has a stainless steel casing. In this aspect it's nicer than the older D'Angelo handle. But I handled the Pathos Laser and this handle is painful to load, it really digs into your abdomen. I wouldn't want to use it in conditions where I'd reload often. I'm sure it shoots fine.
I have a rubber piece that fits over the butt end so that it is easier to load. I will let you know how it goes when I get a chance to get it wet.

I have been looking for a paddy gun for yellowtail and mahi mahi and something I could use in Hawaii for reef and blue water. My birthday is coming up so I decided to try the Pathos 130cm Laser open carbon gun with a 70 meter horizontal reel. Petros at spearamerica was super cool and helped me with the gun and a bunch of other items. I am really excited to test out this monster on some reef fish and hopefully some pelagics when I get into Kona.
I'm really pumped I can't focus on my final exams. Anyway back to the grind stone.

So just the single float you have tied up was enough for that shark. Impressive.

OK. So I bought a sportube 3 and am prepping for my latest trip. Do you guys put your shafts in a PVC pipe inside the sportube since they are the longest item? Thanks again.
