  • Roller spearguns

    Quote from parker

    I'm interested to learn more about this!


    Me too! No-hole rubbers sound very interesting!


    Also, I think that reduced muzzle flip in the roller is mainly due to the fact that the rubbers are stretched parallel to the shaft when loaded, thereby channeling recoil directly backwards, towards the handle (as opposed to diagonally, with angled bands).
    Closed muzzle euro's with a single band (parallel to shaft) would also show very little muzzle flip, and reduced recoil if ballasted properly (and if the design of the handle channels recoil to the palm of the hand effectively).


    PS, I haven't tried a roller as of yet, but for our conditions, a simple single or double banded gun works well for me :)

  • Local Fish Table Fare

    I'm Indian, and my folks LOVE small, bony fishes. They primarily eat sardines, common mackerel, and they also like beltfish.
    In fact, they prefer their favored bait fish to some of the fish I bring home from a shore dive!?(

  • Best spearfishing Video I have ever seen

    Dude, that was an amazing video! I love footage of fish doing their thing!
    And good videos of hunting as well. My hunch is that this video was filmed in Madagascar. Water looks cleaner than the other African videos I've seen.


    Quote from sdeisen

    You're all horribly misguided. Brod whittackers videos are the best. And that one from New Zealand of the giant tuna behind the fishing boat. Those actually make you feel something .


    I agree!
    I LOVE his videos! He truly makes you feel like you're there. Also, I kind of like the fact that most of his epic footage is from shore dives.

  • Spectra

    Omer makes both red and Gray (almost black) dyneema. Good stuff, but not exactly cheap.
    Here's a link I found online:
    Omer Dyneema Line 50 m. Spearguns Nylon and dyneema lines, Scubastore.com, buy, offers, dive.


    If color is not too much of an issue, I highly recommend Dynaglide.
    It's orange in color, soft to handle at 1.8mm, SUPER abrasion resistant, slick, and has a breaking load of 1000lbs (stated).
    AND, Dude George posted a link for a company that sells it for an extremely reasonable rate! (Thanks Dudegeorge!:))

    Sorry, couldn't help but give dynaglide a plug!^^

  • Roller spearguns

    I have nothing to contribute to this thread as I have not shot a roller gun as of yet. A friend of mine loves his 85cm roller though!
    I can also visualize a roller gun being a conventional gun put on to its side. Thinner bands too!


    What I can say is that in terms of recoil, an ergonomic handle and bands parallel to the shaft help absorb recoil much better than non-parallel bands. The spearo's hand absorbs the recoil much better this way.


    I'm sure there's some solid science backing up roller guns, so I'm gonna wait for some other people to chime in on the subject.

  • Cressi Nano mask review

    Quote from makoa

    This is my opinion developed from my over twenty years of Spearfishing...nothing beats the Cressi masks...PERIOD. I love the fit of their masks, the comfort, but most of all (and this where Cressi out does everyone else!) the visibility due to their patented angled lens...can't be beat! I have tried the Nano and love it. If only these Cressi Matrix masks that I've been wearing for about 10 years (?) would wear out or break I would order a pair of Nanos from you Dan. But My Cressi masks (and my Boys'... 4 masks total) just seem to never break, leak, or give us any reason to change. Did I mention the amazing downward visibility?! <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">

    I agree with you Makoa!
    Cressi make great masks and snorkels. I even like their footpockets (Gara 2000 and 3000).
    Sadly, their guns are built with small fish in mind. Super light and easy to handle guns though!

  • Cressi Nano mask review

    Quote from hau

    Here you go sir.
    From a year ago. My Nano/GoPro has been perfect for me.
    Hope this helps

    This looks way better than the way I bolted on my tripod mount!
    I just drilled a hole through the bridge area... looks sketchy, but it's easy to mess up the drilling location! Thankfully, I got it right! :)


    For people who own the Cressi Nano, Hau's method is way more safer and better than mine!

  • Cressi Nano mask review

    I've been able to drill a small (approx 6mm) hole on the nose-bridge area of the mask, and have been able to attach a Gopro tripod mount to it. I'll take some pictures and post it here soon.


    It's a tiny area to drill, and I believe that it's very easy to mess it up if not done carefully. The hole points slightly upwards, in the forward direction. Super stable with the right length of stainless steel screw.
