  • Speardiver composite speargun reel

    "I've been using the Speardiver Composite Speargun Reel on my railgun now for long enough to feel like I can post about it. The reason I say long enough is because the other reels I had worked well enough too, at first."


    X2 and perfect evaluation of the Speardiver Reel sdeisen :thumbup:
    I've been using the Speardiver Reel for years now. I have NEVER had a moments problem with this reel ever. The Speardiver Composite Reel is everything I have ever needed from a speargun reel. The biggest liability with using ANY gun reel, IMO, is that the reel birdnests or locks up somehow as a big fish makes a fast/hard run and I lose my gun. This has never happened to me with the Speardiver Composite Reel
    I love this Speardiver Composite Reel because:
    1. dependability of this reel
    2. folding crank handle
    3. line feed out design
    4. light weight
    5. ruggedness
    6. great price
    7. perfect functioning drag
    Hope this helps


    ps--I love ur signature line sdeisen :toast2:

  • GoPro hero3+ black edition advice please

    Thanks to all here who graciously take the time and effort to help me and others learn how to best operate the GoPro. :toast:
    Getting all the components together has been slow for me here in Guam, (shipping from the US can take weeks and weeks) but I should have everything together in the next couple of weeks. I am compiling all the information I can before hand. Also all the great help here has helped me to buy the correct stuff (memory cards, batteries, etc).
    Thanks everyone :toast2:

  • Two things that a scuba/freediver shouldnt live without...look here!!

    kwtony---
    1. Thanks for the intel sir. :toast: I have been using Tea Tree Oil for only about 3years now. I second that it is powerful stuff as you wrote. (but I have used if for years on my GFs boobies with no noted size increase :rolleyes: )
    2. Can we see more :bouncinboobs: of the "main superstar actress" ?


    Thanks for sharing and nice to see you here on Speardiver :toast:

  • My new Speardiver diver down flag

    Yep, that is a perfect assessment of the new Speardiver flag.
    I just bought two of these wonderful flags (boat/yak size). They arrived very promptly and are exactly as described. Simply THE BEST diver down flags I have ever seen. Thanks for ANOTHER "best product" Dan!
    The Speardiver flag already flies over the crystal clear blue waters of Guam.

  • sdeisen little fish reports

    sdeisen/nate---nice video and nice fish for such tough conditions. Congratulations :thumbup:


    I hunt solo alot, and use a 100' 1/4" yellow POLY float line as a drift line off the back of my yak. One end tied to the back of my yak and a dive flagged buoy tied on the bitter end. That way I have an extra 100' of safety if the current blows me down current of my yak. All this line and flagged buoy wraps up around the buoy nicely and has no metal parts, so I just leave it inside my yak hull if I need it for rough conditions again. Where I live now, I sometimes unwrap my float line and add it to my anchor line to give me an additional 100' of anchor line when I'm spearin deep.


    Nice new yak u got there sdeisen :thumbup:
    I might suggest tying a small line (like reel line) from the bottom gromlet of the dive flag down at an angle to near the cockpit to keep the wind from blowing the flag pole backwards. :toast:


    Shitty viz days, depending on what fish I was spearin for, can be very productive.
    Where I live/spear now is kind of sharky and shitty viz CAN BE VERY EXCITING. I don't mind if a 16" hog swims up to my face in 10' viz, but seeing a shark come through the murk at 10' is different. Maybe I'm just getting old. :hau:

  • GoPro hero3+ black edition advice please

    I just bought a new GoPro hero3+ black edition camera and need advice please
    (Some of my use background is that I have a MacBook Pro and hope to use my GPB3+ about 4 hours a day, 2-3 days a week while yak freedive/spearfishing.)
    So:
    1. What is the BEST card to buy?
    2. Should I buy a spare battery?
    3. Should I buy a spare card?
    4. What external hard drive should I buy and use for my Mac?
    5. What editing program would you suggest I use for my GPB3+?
    6. What other advise and or suggestions could you offer to help a computer challenged new GoProBlack3+ user, make good videos?


    Thank you for help and constructive advice.

  • sdeisen little fish reports

    Nice gun, nice vid, nice fish, nice shot.:toast:
    See, sdeisen don't need no stinkin girly man flip flop :thumbup:


    Nate--looks like your creation is beautiful AND deadly. :attack2: :fishswim:

  • 55inch custom wood gun

    Quote from Teaspoon shallow

    Looks great.:thumbup:


    Are you going to install a butt pad and if so what material are you going to use?


    Not sure sdeisen needs a butt pad. Sedeisen is one of the few spearos I know of, who shoots enough times a week to have calluses on his chest from loading his gun so many times. :)


    sdeisen and nate;
    That is a VERY NICE gun. Congratulations :toast:

  • Deeper diving techniques?

    hatterasfreedvr---that technique of using a weight to help with descending is what I have been doing for years and years while yak freedive spearfishing. I swim around on the surface holding my yak anchor and chain in my left hand and my gun in my right hand. When I see a fish or fishy looking spot, I hold onto the anchor and let its weight help me to descend faster and with less effort. When I'm done on the bottom I let go of the anchor and easily swim up to the surface. My anchor now marks the spot where I was on the bottom if I want to return there and not drift away or I can just hoist the anchor up with the anchor line and move on. This technique works great for me for many different reasons.
    Hope this helps

  • Guam spearfishing reports

    At ABC Bay today:
    begin at 10am------------------end at 1230pm
    wind from NW at 5mph----------from NW at 10mph
    water temp 81F in 60fsw
    current from N at 1mph-------same
    viz ?f in 60fsw----------------same
    seas 1ft------------------------seas less than 1-2ft
    air temp 96F 10% clouds----same
    surf--3ft


    First true day of yak freedive spearin on Guam for me.
    No fish died today but I got my 2 spearin yaks and gear sorted out and put back together from the move here.
    Saw 6 sea turtles, two white tip sharks and the biggest black drum I have ever seen.
    The white tips were about 4 and 5ft long. The drum was at least 2ft long. He looked big from the surface and as I dropped the 50-60f down to him, he just got bigger and bigger. He was too smart for me though, and dove into a hole in the reef. He would wait til I ran out of breath and starting up before he would come out of his hole and watch me go back up to the surface. :rolleyes: I made 4-5 drops on him then gave up.
    Here on Guam, the surf can be very dangerous. The surf breaks on top of coral reef that is so shallow (depending on the tide) that the reef top is exposed. Where I was today, the surf/ reef barrier was a half mile from shore. Once through the surf, the sea bottom drops off pretty fast as you go out. Today the depth went from exposed reef top to over 100fsw in less than 100yds. I know it was over 100fsw as I could see my 100ft anchor line hanging straight down. I could see my anchor with nothing but blue water under it. :nono:
