  • Pigtail snap & swivel for speargun muzzle bungee

    Quote from ddonnell

    I don't know what people are smoking when they say pigtails are hard to do. I have used pigtails my whole life down in Baja shooting grouper. Toss the shaft and fish into the boat, undo shooting line at the pigtail and the shooting line comes right out of the fish, no isssues and fast once the ponguero learns...



    :toast:


    I smoke only the finest sticky icky <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> I didn't know how remove the line until Dan showed me :) j.p on the smoking part

  • This slaughter was not done by a spearo!

    Quote from mrmike

    I was in key west last november and it was in the 40s in the afternoons. I dove the bay for bugs and the reports were saying 55 degree water temps. very cold in a 5mm but I didn't wash up onshore like thousands of dead fish. I think snook took the biggest hit


    Nature doing its job, snook Fishing this year has been good with lots of over slot fish, non native fish like peacock bass have almost disappeared.

  • Glock 17 Explosive Ammo!

    Quote from Wishihadgills

    Not sure exactly what that means. But the glock 18 and 18c are full auto capable from glock. As for NFA guns it depends where you live. Some places its near impossible ie Cali and other places its is much easier. Here is Florida were pretty lucky as our gun laws are pretty lenient and we have reciprocity with the majority of states. I think it was up to like 37 last I checked.


    I didnt know it was a yearly cost. I thought it was a one time cost per suppressor. My uncle is in the process of getting his approved. Its going to take him at least 3-4 months before ATF approves his application. Some companies like GemTech will pay your application fees if you apply at a certain time. I think August 15 for GemTech. I cant wait until his is approved. Gunna have a lot of fun with that thing.


    I have a few NFA weapons under a trust, one time tax stamp for $200 fill out appropriate form send in and play the waiting game, post sample weapons are items that fall under NFA ruling built or imported after 1986 which is not transferable to an individual, these weapons have to be registered under a sot/3 dealer or police agency. A registered pre 86 mp5 runs you anywhere from 10-30k a post sample new from HK runs $800-1500, you wonder why there is no intention to change the law :rolleyes:

  • YJ sashimi

    Quote from Nate

    Nice fish man, 30" is a quality yj. If you're dead set on sashimi just freeze it. I've always used a flashlight to shine through the filet, it makes finding the worms super easy. My dad made a plexiglass topped filet table with a few fluorescent lights mounted under the glass for the soul purpose of finding worms in big AJs.


    The fish was shot on scuba by a good buddy of mine

  • Glock 17 Explosive Ammo!

    Quote from Wishihadgills

    Haha thats because getting caught with a filed seer pin will land you in jail for the rest of your life. Like Bulit mentioned the glock 17 is not fully auto direct from the factory but full auto conversions are available but EXTREMELY difficult to get in the US. They have really cracked down on full auto ownership especially in compact pistols.


    Dan - Contrary to popular belief incendiary rounds do not "explode", they are very similar to a regular bullet. They are coated with phosphorous that heats up to the point of glowing from the friction of moving through the air. They are also known as Tracers and this is their primary function. When shooting full auto weapons the military will add a tracer round every 5-10 rounds so that the gunner can see where his rounds are gong. It is true that a tracer round can ignite gasoline or other flammable substances but that is usually more or a side effect, not their intended use.


    NFA weapons are easy to own with the right amount of $, glock 18 are post sample as are most conversions. Ridiculous how a piece of stamped metal lightning link cost more then a decent used car.

  • YJ sashimi

    Just got back from a failed wahoo trip but managed to score a big yellow jack, Ive had fresh yellow jack sahimi but from smaller and worm free fish, this one however was a big jack 30"+ and after cleaning I found a worm in his stomach and some alien looking sand flea in his gills, the meat looks great though. Should I just deep fry the cuts or freeze over nigh?

  • Gear/fin bags, what do you use?

    Stopped by my local dive store today looking at the H. Dessault bag and Riffe bag when the sales person showed me the Beuchat they just received, the bag was just what I was looking for, fits my fins, 3mm pursuit suit, extra rashguard, 100' vinyl float line, mask, snorkel, Spetton float, weights and belts, extra bands and shooting line with misc tools and hardware, and has large insulated front compartment big enough to put a few hogs, macs and misc fish!!! the craftsmanship looks top notch and the material itself looks like a canvas with a rubbery water proof coating with vents on the sides.

    Quote from Tomlynch

    You should check out the bag made by Precision Dive Products it's compact , durable and well made . By a free-diver for free-divers. It has straps for a gun and floatline and room inside for weight belt and weights,a five mil. wetsuit ,mask and a snorkel and strong enough to hold it all . And now with the end of year sales you can get a deal I'm sure . It's on my Christmas list


    looks like a great design but i see a duffel bag style more convenient on a boat.
