I use it to brain fish.
Just be mindful if you find yourself handling the shooting line in front of the gun with a powerful fish on the shaft. If the fish makes a rush the gun can come up behind you and stick you with the spike. Ask me how I know
"Ask me how I know
"
100% agree
To increase safety using a spike, I simply keep a rubber tip protector on my spike at all times until I need to use the spike. I take a 1 1/2in piece of 14mm band, tie a constrictor knot in one end, lick the untied end of the protector and slip the protector on the spike--just like I do my spear. I ALWAYS keep spear/spike protectors on my guns.
(used to use wine bottle corks but I quit drinking )
hope this helps -
Dude george---alas, seems that I am too computer illiterate to copy/paste pictures of the spike from another forum. Sorry

Wood Guy just released his new wood speargun "Combination spike / line guide" that they have been working on for months. I love this muzzle spike and have ordered 3 of them for my wood guns. I have been using Tin Mans pipe gun muzzle spikes for years and years with not one problem. This new spike comes in 2 varients and I will write more about this great new product with pictures soon
hope this helps -
For a 400eu or less wooden gun of that length, my choices would be;
1st choice. Speardiver teak euro 110 or 120 Speardiver Teak Euro Speargun
2nd choice. Riffe Euro 110 or 120and then I would mount a Speardiver composite reel and line to the gun and this set up could last you the rest of your spearin days.
hope this helps -
Dude george---
GREAT, I will PM you with my PayPal info so that you may PayPal me a one-way ticket to your local. Please to remember that I am low maintainance. I only require to spear 6 days a week, need AC, running water, free boat rides, 1 or 2 21+sexy female assistants, free internet/food/and spearing gear. If you can provide me with this small list of needs I will promise to never let my free ride (I mean buddy) to SWB. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">Thanks for the kind words sir

This is a very important thread. Regardless of what you decide is the right protocol, DECIDE on A protocol and make certain your dive buddies and boat guests all know it.
In the ER we deal with L/D situations often. My team runs through "procedure skills" at least once a week (if we are not already doing the REAL thing). Nothing beats training and frequent practice to eliminate confusion and to increase successful outcomes.

Finally finish a couple parts for George. I sure made him wait a while.
I changed the contour on the point a little for more sharping area, and I modified the face of the trama Cap with a radial V-groove. figured it might help stop it from sliding a little till it get bunged up in rocks.

Linghunt---man I LIKE that point. I don't see many Lion fish out in the blue, but that thread-on nicely tapered dbl flopper might be a better alternative to a slip-tip. Great craftsmanship sir. Congratulations
PERHAPS we could ask our FAVORITE dive store
to start selling: large shark finned, 6mm threaded, SS spears <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> . What do you think Dan? (I need 2 today). -
Treebilly3---that is a nice fish (man they ugly fish:) ). Congrats
NICE gear -
true but that's why i have two bands on my 120. One band in 10 ft visibility does the job and when the mackerel, barracuda, permit or whatever show up i can make a penetration shot on a midwater fish. My two cents is my gun must be versatile as the warm waters we shoot in isn't predictable.

Just found this and thought some here might find this interesting.
(I'll take one IF it is waterproof rated to 300fsw and will fit a 7.5mm spear. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> )

WOW, nice fish and GREAT pictures.
Keep em coming :toast2: -
I didn't know that was Petra. She seems pretty cool on Spearboard. And she's a diver for sure.
Petra was on the boat when my friend Rob Murphy got his legs chopped off by a speeding boater. Rob might not be alive today had it not been for Petra's help and support. This is only some of what Petra has been through. Even though she blows bubbles, she is one tough sexy girl.

One of THE most beautiful guns I have ever seen. I would NEVER abuse a work of art like that by jaming it down inside my yak and subjecting it to days and days of sun and salt water.
Congratulations

I used to catch that show every once in a while a few years ago.
Just trying to be helpful here.
"Catching Hell" first aired in 2014. The lady spearo is Petra (Lisa)
"Speargun Hunter" that starred Sheri Daye was released in 2009hank----Ritice is Ritchie Zacker, aka "Bucket One", aka "TGO" out of Tampa, Fl (He is NOT on SB
)
hope this helps -
There are aprox 10 episodes to the show Catching Hell on the weather channel. The show is listed as a docudrama, which means it is a show about real events that are dramatized (exaggerated) for TV. That said, I have a lot of respect for Petra (Lisa). This lady has been through a lot during her diving career. She is NOT the dolting female diver that she sometimes portrays in this show.

Hank--To find which way is up, I just fart and then follow the bubbles. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

redrider---this is one of the main reasons Speardiver is so good. Many experienced, knowledgable spearos here to help each other and share information about any questions a spearo may have. Almost every spearo here has BEEN where you are now or will be in your situation in the future. Once you learn what ear/sinus solutions work for you, you will be in a position to share and help others.
(Just don't ask for spearin spot numbers :nono: <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> ) -
You and I have both written them letters. they are not interested because there are not enough of us and we are not a unified group.
"Not a unified group" is EXACTLY why we need a "unified group" with lots of clout and money and supporters to fight for our spearin rights in DC and Cali and Florida and etc.
Sorry to say, but I have given up. I have now left the conti US and am happily spearin every day in the Pacific. I havn't been stopped and searched yet, haven't been threatened by boaters and LEOs or PETA. People stand at the beach and are happy to see me come to shore with dead fish.
