    The best knife I've ever had is the Dexter Russel "Tiger Edge". It cuts EVERYTHING, from shark (or trigger fish) skin to snapper bones. And doesn't need to be sharpened, never!
    If you have the chance to get one, go for it.
    It's not the nicest fillet knife but it does it's job pretty good.

    me alegra mucho ver gente hispana entrando aqui , mas aun cuando son de mi tierra. La verdad es q' si los cubanos de cuba tubieran acceso a la net seria un poco diferente por q' alla a la gente le gusta la pesca mas q' la carne e' puerco.



    Por eso es que a la Niña le gusta su marido Ricky....:rolleyes1: :D:D


    PD: Iván lo que pidió fue un Rob Allen.

    Definately not a good mix. I look at spearfishing as a way of hanging out with buddies and having a good time on the water.


    I agree. But I consider it a sport as well. You have to be in shape do feel good in the water. At least if you still want to do things you are used to.


    I see competitiveness mostly in young spearos (and I felt that when I was younger). When you get older your brain is less filled with testosterone... :D


    I participated at the Nationals in Venezuela back in 2003 and will not do it again. Even if the ambient was ok and I had the chance to spear at different locations, I was forced to shoot fish that I normally don't even look at.
    Minimum size was 500 grs (less than 1 puond) for many species (other were bigger, like snappers, goupers and other). species that I normally disregard were allowed to take, etc.
    At the end, I went well to me, but I didn't felt good killing fishes that won't be consumed by me afterwards.


    It changed the whole philosophy of spearfishing in my perception. Won't do it again.

    Thanks Rolo.


    That's for the carbon, but what about the alluminum? Anyway, I asked the price and is WAY higher than the RA. :(


    Any place that sells them at "reasonable" prices? All I need is a 120 cm alluminum railgun double 16 mm band, 7 mm shaft.


    I think I will buy a Rob Allen again soon...

    Thanks for the info about the Aimrite, as a matter of fact I do have one... :rolleyes1:


    Did anyone had the chance to read my question?


    As far as I know the rail iin the Rabby's is not part of the alluminum barrel, right?


    Anyone that has or have had both, please comment a little bit.


    Thanks,


    Who was the one here that said "thanks for ignoring me"? :rolleyes1::D

    I would like to get into this discussion....


    I have to recognize that I pretty much don't do the buddy up thing, BUT, when I know that I'm going to dive deeper than normal or if I know i will stay at the bottom more than usual, then I expressely ask someone (of a similar level) to wach my ass, and this happens only when the visibility allows him to wach me all the time.


    There are too many distractions in the sea to rely you life totally in a buddy. I/e: a wahoo shows up at shooting range when you are in the bottom. What do you think your "buddy" is going to do? I'm not sure... :rolleyes1: But for sure is going to distract "a little bit".


    At my age, I don't rely totally in anyone unless at specific cases and situations. I think we should dive responsibly at the depts/times we are comfortable with. That's why imo a dive computer is a must for a serious freediver.


    This being said, I'm happy that Jim is ok and for sure he's got a good lesson from this situation. ;):thumbsup2:
