    Quote from Aaron Proffitt

    Holy shit !! You were a DI ? And yet you seem so nice .:)


    Nah...I wasn't a DI, we used to steal err...''borrow'' their hats and take quick pictures with it. I wish I had more pics of my time in the service or during the gulf war but the good wartime pics were confiscated before letting us back and the ones we were able to bring back along with some videos were kept by a guy in Kansas wich I lost coctact with.

  • Braiding cable shooting line

    Yes I did noticed the bad crimp and I'm pretty sure that was the culprit. Follow Dan's advice. I've done many crimps without braiding the cable and they hold really good but I do use the double barreled crimp in the right size and the right crimping tool. Also when using coated cable remove the coating on the crimp area.

    Hey Don you said that wood is mango? Do you know wich species in particular? The reason I'm asking is because I have chopped many a mango tree but never noticed that wood grain. But then again I never cut it into planks and varnished.

  • Questions about spearing from a boat

    We do a mix of both, sometimes we anchor and sometimes we take turns driving. Like Ben said if we hit a known spot that is usually shallow we anchor and all jump in. But when diving deeper, hitting weedlines or a strong current and covering a large area we take turns at the helm, there is no sense on having a diver swim a strong current to get to the boat. Also if we are changing spots whoever gets to the boat first pick everyone else. Dan's idea on having a full time driver is real good so sometimes we invite a non diving or hook and line fisherman to stay in the boat. One thing very important is that we make sure that everybody knows how to start the boat, use the radio and operate the bilge pumps and safety stuff, especially if is someone fishing with us for the first time.

  • Wood stock for metaltech

    Hey the stock was almost done, the only reason I wanted to do this project was because I needed something a little longer and when I offered the gun locally nobody wanted it but it did proved feasible and I just did it with a $99 router and table combo and $25 bits kit from home depot. The stock still alive and well but I gave it away. The person who have it might finish it with metaltech parts or do do something different. BTW Dan the stock is real close to you........^^

  • Speartek floatline??

    Quote from Dan

    What's the point of using 1400lb spectra and 1600lb swivels if your shooting line is 250lb :rolleyes:


    That's because if you shoot a big fish and it tangles on a deep reef or wreck or runs and sounds into oblivion you want a good heavy line holding onto your gun so if something fails it probably will be your shooting line so you get to keep your gun, unless you shoot a breakaway rig then it doesn't matter.

  • Wood stock for metaltech

    Well I guess I could sell it if you want it. Send me a pm so I can give you the details. The wooden stock is almost done, all it needs is the band slot, shape the muzzle and give it a few coats of epoxy. I'm probably not going to use it if I sell the gun, so if somebody wants it you could have it for free. I'm already gathering the parts to build another gun with the neptonics mech that I got from Dan, but it's going to be a longer gun made out of teak.
