True, the florocarbon does not float as well as my RA120 or my float line, but the florocarbon between my gun and float line DOES NOT sink my RA OR my float line. This system has been working great for me for the last 6 months. Just my opinion and an effort to help others.

At least I got some head <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">
Very nice head you got there sir. That would make a great mount

The way I see it there are two different approaches to float line color; visibility or stealth. People talk about wetsuit camo being effective or not. It's a fact that a float line scares fish, and is a bigger factor when trying to get close enough for a shot.
Visibilty can be divided in two situation; on the surface and underwater. Visibility on the surface is a factor for me, spotting divers etc. Underwater not so much. If I had to choose between stealth and visibility, I choose stealth, because I have to get the fish first before I'll worry about seeing the line to retrieve it. In any case the float line is always attached to a float and you can follow it down from there.
For these reasons I'm seriously considering the red/black color scheme. Red disappears underwater and the black breaks up the line, making this line arguably the least visible to fish underwater. Yet red is very visible on the surface where we need it. What do you think of my reasoning and general eye appeal of this color scheme?
If there's demand I can do a lime yellow/white line at a later time.
With this ^^^^ important information in mind, I would like to suggest a solution to this problem that I have been using for the last 6months or so.
I now use 50ft of clear 600lb clear florocarbon clipped to my gun, then this is clipped to my regular 100ft high viz float line. This method has been giving me the best of both worlds, with the clear florocarbon being near invisable underwater to the fish and yet still giving me and my boat crew a high viz line to be able to see on the surface. You can alter the length/thickness of the clear florocarbon to fit your individual conditions and use the same float line for all.
Hope this helps. -
Humans associate eyes with being the Window to the soul. Whether or not you actually think an animal loves or cares or feels. You can easily "see" it in their eyes.
And if you ever look into the eye of a big shark up close, as Dave wrote about, you immediately realize that this is one creature that has no soul.

Linghunt--First is would suggest that you do your R/D in a water environment to more accurately simulate real life spear gun/shaft conditions.
Next I might suggest using an underwater camera to record your spear flight. Playing back your spear flight video in slow motion to truelly be able to visualize what your spear flight looks like would be a HUGE asset.
Hope this helps -
Marco---WOW, great video and great shot sir. Congrats and thanks for sharing

Thanks Dude george---great advice taken.
Art--How is our Lowrance Elite 5?
IYO--what is the best yak fishfinder/GPS? ( I have been looking at the Ray Marine DragonFly for $600.)others--- what is the best fishfinder for pelagics?

Oscar--sdeisen gave GREAT advice.
I might suggest that you also:
1. Rig up some type of line or paddle tether to tie your yak paddle to your yak while out in the water. (Nothing like being a mile off shore, get back to your yak and realize you lost your paddle).
2. Go to Home Depot and buy 16--24inch of their SS chain. (Home Depot only carries one size). Buy a small SS clevis to connect your 3lb folding grapnel to the SS chain, then securely tie your poly anchor line to your SS anchor chain. Many of us use a plastic wire tie to hold the fingers of the grapnel anchor closed. (In an emergency you can knife the plastic tie off and open the anchor fingers).
Hope this helps -

I would like to see the pictures after all this stuff is put in use.
Me too brother
I'll just be happy to have "all this stuff" put together and working for BW. I have never BW hunted before so the learning and putting together phase has taken a while. Plus it takes a long time for stuff to get shipped here and almost everything has to be bought online and overseas. Getting close to having everything now, just need a few more things like a BW gun, FF, slip tips, 2ATM float, tuna spotter airplane, etc.
