thanks

I use one. I use it because I got IT and the float at a good price.
It does tangle out of the water a bit, but it is because I coil it incorrectly. I am lazy and just stuff it in my bag.

Other than that I like it.

You can borrow mine to see if YOU personally like it. One thing is seeing it, another is using it. Maybe it can be improved.

Maybe Hau, or others who have used double band closed muzzle Rob Allen(or other pipe gun) can chime in.

where did u see that LB?? I saw NE winds 10-14 knots??

Is it my imagination or does the water color look more blueish on the beach cam

Perhaps a better approach would have been to figure out why the mono actually becomes entangled with the spectra of the second band. What I did was to throw the gun on the boat grab my backup gun and continue fishing

I am thinking it can be fixed by slightly modifying the muzzle. Fix this problem along with the stainless steel line release and cartridge and you might have something
in your hands.

What kind of tangles does the second band cause?

When shooting a closed muzzle railgun the shooting line( mono) seems to become entangled with the second band thats swinging around. The inline band never tangles. The one you load second which is the one that can be easily removed from the closed muzzle.

This happens at the time between firing and reloading. I think there have been other threads on this???

I think if you study the closed muzzle and the way the bands are configured you can easily see why. I just never took the time to really figure out the actual cause.

My personal experience using railguns.. I 've tried all different band combinations on guns ranging from 110-130cm. I found the most accurate to comfortability combo to be guns 110 and shorter single 19mm band if you need to power down for a hole shot just load till first notch. A 130 cm is a pain in the ass to load with a single band and it makes more sense to have 2 16mm bands, plus it would be a more clearwater gun in which you can use the extra power for range.

In short 110 or smaller use 19mm band. ( 2nd band gets in the way and causes tangles)

120cm i would go with single band a little longer band.

130cm and higher 2 16mm bands

This mutton I shot with a 130 cm w 2 16mm bands at about 15 feet away. We were in a spot that was 80-90ft. At that depth I dont think you have much time to be chasing fish around. You might be forced to take a long shot.

Go ahead and experiment with different size railguns and band combinations. I agree with Marco.

For our regular waters here 110 cm Aliminum .single 19mm 22inch band. Double wrap mono. shaft is i believe is 7mm 140cm.

For clear water I use the 130cm. which is almost never.

dam green water. where is the blue ocean i remember??

no I didnt find any regs on them...

btw that looks like Joes jack above also. it might be an almaco.

Dan, Im pretty sure that jack I shot today was an Almaco Jack like I thought

It had excellent white meat when I filleted it. I have to look up the regs for them.

ill do the empty stomach anyways. i gotta lose 10lbs;)

next time do a science experiment..dont eat before diving and just drink water.and see what the difference is in your bottom time.
food in the digestive tracks robs 02 from your blood.

Excellent suit. I am very happy with it. Next best investment next to Speardiver C90 carbon fins. Its feels like no other suit I have used, it feels like not wearing anything at all while still keeping me warm in 68 degree water

thanks for the report hau
