That is one beautiful gun
Core, your new gun looks like a work of art. Congratulations
Wood Guy and Tin Man---everything about that gun looks perfect

pargo---yes, the drill and pin would be perfect, but I doubt that I can drill the RA shaft.
So far so good with the J-B Weld. If the glueing fails I may have to find some way or someone to drill and pin the shaft. Thanks

spearos---just a shaft tab spare band update.
The super glue gel is not water proof and the shaft tab easily falls off.
I tried neoprene glue, but that didn't work either.
What has worked so far for a week is J-B Weld. I first cleaned off the shaft [just where the tab was going] with nail polish remover. I mixed and applied the J-B Weld as directed, stuck the tab on and waited 24hours before using that shaft. So far the J-B Weld has held even when pulling fish off the shaft
If the J-B Weld fails, there is a Marine J-B Weld that I can try next.
The shaft tab works great, is simple and easy and I use it a lot. My new RA120 with 7mm shaft shoots way to hard and fast for small reef fish or hogs against the reef with both bands stretched.
Yesterday I shot a 14in trigger fish that was aprox 10f from my muzzle. Just the 1 band shot the shaft so hard that the trigger never moved in the water column when the shaft hit him mid body. One second he was swimming along and the next sec he was in the same place but with the shaft clear through him and the trigger on the shaft line.

stevo---hope you get your GPS working again. I hate loosing or breaking gear. It can get expensive very quick. I am still morning loosing a $5. chum bag to a shark:(
The second reef at Dania pier is offering us a lot better spearin than the 1st reef. We can yak to the 2nd reef in 20-25min easy.
Yesterday would have been a good day to go to the 3rd reef with the flat seas and little current and wind we had <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

pargo---I agree. The 72 will do everything a yak spearo needs.
I keep mine in a drypk like Stevo did, but may now change to a hard pelican case.

Me and Stevo on the 2nd reef today. Stevo got several nice fish and I got 5 reef fish but nothing good, no macks and no hogs.
Nurse shark grabbed my chum bag and drug my yak 25 yards before he ripped the bag off the line:0
I heard my anchor bounceing across the reef and went to find the nurse shark dragging my anchor line and yak. Guess I'll have to stop hanging my chum bag from my anchor line
At the end of the dive I could not get my anchor unhooked and had to dive down to get it unhooked. As soon as I got into the water there was a 3 foot mack right under my yak and me with no gun.:(

monster slayer---THANKS--now I can practice spearin at night

pargo---those are great fish for the 1st reef
Your new board looks very good. Congratulations

spearos----me and Stevo and maybe others are planing on meeting up at Dania pier at aprox 8am tomorrow 4-11 [Sat] if anyone would like to join us. Any and all are welcome. Marine forecast is 2 f or less, 5-10knot winds.
Our dive plan will be posted in the usuall place if anyone comes latter and wants to join us

spearos---I am going up to Flodida Freedivers 4-7 in the am , leaving Hollywood at aprix 8am if anyone wants to go along or needs anything

av001---73F at the top of the 15f, 2nd reef.
The top of the water HAS warmed up.
Remember I am old and decrepite and get cold easy. I have been wearing a 1.5mm 1 piece AND a 3mm 1 piece AND a 3mm hooded vest up until yesterday. Today was my second day wearing just my 1.5 and 3mm suits. I did not get cold today. Please to remember that I yak spear and am in the water sometimes for 6-9hours straight. Also, my suits are all 1 piece suits which are colder then a two piece suit. On the other hand, Stevo has been wearing just a 3mm shorty all winter:0
I like to have too much neoprene on instead of not enough. I had a friend years ago that got seperated from his boat and spent 23 hours in the water till rescued the next day.:(

5 yak spearos today
We got run off our spot by a submarine doing manouvers out off Dania beach:0
Seeing the sub all day was great, but the viz started getting bad with suspended particals in the water [stired up by the sub?]
I got 1 nice chub. Eze got at least 1 nice mack that I saw him swimming to his yak.
Maybe the others will post their stories.
Great yak spearin day with flat seas, OK viz, sub, and lots and lots of beach buns

spearos---do not miss today. I am here and the sea is flat. Fish are gonna die.

Core---LunkerBuster, fishingdude and dino all have cameras. Maybe they can get you a peek
Enjoy your day off my friend.

I sure hope the weather, seas and viz is good. We all need a break to start getting our freezers filled.
I got some #s that could produce several reef fish.
