What is the largest diameter spectra that will fit through the holes? I've got 100' of 3mm spectra that I've been using for my wishbones. Will I be able to use it with your inserts?

I don't have a planer, but I ran it through a table saw and that cleaned it right up. I also got the remote trigger installed and started on the handle grips

Took off the masking tape this morning and sanded off the air bubbles. I getting the masking tape off was a major PITA so I wont be using it again. Also I left the trigger mech in the pocket so that the track could form around the curved front of the neptonics tuna trigger, that was a mistake. I kinda made a mess of the top of the gun when I was trying to remove the air bubbles, but I think that I can fix that by removing the top 1/16th of the gun and track with a table saw. Thanks for all the kind words, unfortunately I won't be able to work on the gun till march as I have to go back to RI to continue my education.

I was trying to overfill the groove that i cut for the track so that I could remove the air bubbles by sanding then off tomorrow. I ended up sloping epoxy onto the masking tape. I probably didn't add enough graphite powder when I was mixing the epoxy which is giving the appearance of clear epoxy.

Thanks! The blue stuff is just masking tape so that i don't have to sand the spilled over epoxy off to the wood. The gun is going to have four 9/16th bands for a while until I get comfortable with it then I will probably re-rig it with 5/8th bands. It'll be mostly for wahoo and maybe the occasional tuna.

This is my first gun build. It's a 63" midhandle bluewater gun. I cut the trigger and handle pockets and poured the epoxy track today, I'll take more pictures tomorrow when the epoxy dries.

you're probably right, I don't really want to have to buy two different types of rubber, maybe if i left them really long?

I was wondering what is the typical band load was on a Hawaiian sling. I'm planing on building a sling for bluewater hunting in the bahamas and am planning on using 9/16 bands for about 90 pounds of pull.

Have you had any issues with bent shafts with this setup?

they're all over the Bahamas, i kill them for shark bait.

dude, not sure where in RI you are, but you need, NEED to dive block island...I have seen vids of guys diving there swimming in schools of strippers as big as my leg and dumb too. Plus triggers are unregulated up there.. Block is where its at
RI is a really nice place, my sis went to Brown and I really like providence and newport
