Hey guys I'm trying to buy a backup spear shaft for my gun. I currently have the Cressi Comanche rail 110cm. Im trying to get a second shaft for it however idk if I'm supposed to order a shaft at 110cm? Or a different length? I'm not sure if the websites are saying 110cm shaft and implying that for a 110cm gun or of they're say that's the actual shaft size? Does that make sense?

Hey guys, I'm debating on purchasing the mako dive board float for my shore dive setup what are your guys thoughts on this float? Good float? Or any floats you guys recommend that's great for visibility, safety, and resting on, as well as a place to store fish? I attached the float I'm talking about in this post. Thanks guys

Ok cool sounds good. I think I'll just get some weight and then add or take away. Just like you said trial and error. Thanks a ton you guys have been a ton of help! I can't wait to get out and spearfish!

Awesome that's all great info and helps a ton. I got a great deal on my wetsuit normally it's $350+ but I got it for $50. So I couldn't pass it up. I think for now I'll keep the 16mm band and I'll probably buy a 18mm and use a 6.5 or 7mm shaft later down the road. My suit is 5mm and I was curious to know how much weight I should add to my weight belt? I weight about 155-158 lbs. Any idea how much weight I should add?

Awesome thanks for the help that sounds great! And yes I will I'll post some pics! Hoping to find some fatties! I had another question. Im a shorter stature type guy with so muscle and I ordered a pathos thira wetsuit size small. I noticed when I put the bottoms on (long johns) there is a gap in my lower back. Everything feels great around my legs and even the top portion feels good. But I still have a little gap of air in my lower back. Anyone else have this problem? Will that be a major issue?

How much feet would you guys recommend of dyneema on a reel?

Awesome perfect, thanks guys I really appreciate the help you guys have been awesome!

Here is a photo of the wetsuit

Hey guys I have a pathos thira 5mm size small wetsuit for sale. It's brand new and I've never used it. Brand New they are $350-$380-ish. I'm selling it for $300. Let me know if any of you are interested. Not sure how to upload my own phots on here or else I would attach a photo. Also buyer pays shipping.

Ok cool I think I'll get some dyneema then to be on the safe side. Thank you! What size diameter dyneema so you recommend?

Gotcha thanks for the info from both you guys that makes sense. Well looks like I'll have to get a 7mm shaft then. I'm going to Tahiti in April and l plan to do some spearfishing there. I bought a reel for my Comanche 110, but I'm not sure what size diameter dyneema to get or if there are other substitutes besides dyneema I can use? Mono? Or do you guys strongly suggest dyneema?

Ok cool thanks popgun Pete, I appreciate the info very much! Just heard different things from the forums but that definitely helps. So I'll probably add another 16mm band for that 6mm shaft is what I'm thinking. That shouldn't affect the accuracy right? Too much power for a lighter shaft? What would you say the accuracy is in terms of feet with a 110 gun?

Hey guys I am new to this forum and brand new to spearfishing. I have never been spearfishing and I have a few questions. Your guys help would be greatly appreciated! So, I recently bought a Cressi Comanche 110 speargun. On the muzzle of the gun there is another slot for a second band. The band it comes with is a 16mm band and I was reading that people were saying on other forums that if I were to place a second 16mm band for extra power it would possibly bend the gun and or even cause trigger malfunctions or damage the trigger entirely. Is this true? On the Cressi website it specifically says there is a second slot for a second band. I have a hard time believing they would put a second slot and it would cause problems with the gun. Does that make sense? Also, the gun comes with a 6mm shaft. If using two bands, will that affect the shaft causing any whipping or bending of the shaft or even inaccuracies? Would I need a thicker shaft? Thanks guys I really appreciate your time and help! Just trying to catch on quickly and learn as much as possible. Thanks again!
