Horizontal reel - they don't stick out as much as vertical reels
Lighter the better - probably plastic is the best way to go
Knob has to be easy to crank in line
Have to have 2 models 50m of line or something higher like 80-90m of line
The drag system isn't very important. Drag should always be set with the tiniest tension to prevent unwinding and tangling. The real drag is your hand on the reel slowing it down. As long as the drag remains where you set it, that is the most important.
I love reels. The best reel i have used is the maorisub dentex. It holds about 50m of line, never jammed, and reels nice and smooth. I was planning on putting it on my wooden gun, but i don't think it has enough line for me. It is made out of plastics that float so it doesn't add very much weight to your gun.
I recently purchased a hammerhead remora 90m to test out.
Some of my co-workers from the office had a great time at the tiki experience, they came in the office this morning and said that Harry was great and they loved the place, I was thinking that the South Florida Speardivers could have our meetings there and our first year dinner, thats if Harry would have us of course......Something to think about.
yes that would fine. How many people?
Hey greekdiver...thanks for the great time last night...the tiki bar looks great..best of luck

Notice the big fish reel by Maorisub.
Welcome!
greek. how do those small cats handle in a chop?
i think they handle really good. I havent been on a 14ft but i have been on a 17ft and it rode really well.
WOW, nice find greekdiver
Someone will pick that boat up for sure. You shouldn't have any issues with that boat.

^^That's what you need
Give him 5,500-6000 and you will have a boat that will be good in seas, enough room, very light to tow, and a 4 stroke engine under warranty even though its mercury. Has hydraulic steering too.
Dan how big of a boat do you want to get and how much money do you want to spend?
For a small planing craft, hull geometry can have a greater bearing on gas mileage than weight. If the towing capacity on your caravan will permit it, you might want to consider an old Whaler. They are the very embodiment of indestructability. Carolina Skiff makes a very practical craft that is popular in the Pensacola area.
exactly what he said
They eat my fish.
There's a chance you're joking and there's a chance you're serious. If there are other ways to improve breath hold I'll get there on my own when the time is right, just like I did with the mask breathing, so no big deal. But in my book saying that is not cool. What, you want us to know that you're better? OK greek you're a stud
It was a joke Dan. Relax. <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">
There are more tricks, but i'm going to keep them tucked deep under my sleeve! 
awesome catch...glad you weren't uncomfortable with the ear/sinus cavity, that is what keeps me out of the water.
sweet haul, sucks to lose that much kingfish
i think it is my favorite fish to smoke, if you have a bbq or smoker i highly recommend you smoke at least one of those bad boys
i steak it and put it on the grill. It's awesome and is one of my favorite fish. I had it last night. Delicious!
Jim,
I am planning on putting a camera mount in the future on my Denton
I really don't like shooting mangos. They are big ones everywhere, but i don't like the taste of them.
Did you notice the big lane snapper? I saw a lane snapper bigger than the muttons.
I woke up with a cold in the morning, but i had to go because of all the preparation. It was hard to equalize, and i felt really weak in the morning. I was planning on getting in water and just take it slowly. I managed to dive, but my breath hold was not so good.
I took a couple dives, and saw a cave. I slowly approached it from a good angle where i wasn't seen. As i turned the corner, i see a gag grouper facing the corner. It did not see me. I shot it right on the top part of the back and spear came out of its mouth. It was a very solid shot, and i knew it wasn't going anywhere. But there were like 5 Jewfish ready to eat him! I swam down and untangled the mess, and i noticed a jewfish biting him. He couldn't eat him as the shaft was in the way. After a couple of dives, i remove the fish and boated him.
Davie and I went to the next spot and jumped in. I did a couple dives and then on the way up about 20ft off the bottom i noticed a King Mackerel. I took the shot and the fish took off so fast. I saw my shaft bend so much as it took off. Before i could reach the surface the fish took about 30m of line. They have a lot of speed but not so much power. I boated the fish and had fun winding in all that line.
About 20 mins later, i see another King Mackerel, and i take my shot. My reel again goes spinning. This fish didn't have that much power as the last one. I began to pull it in and here come the barracudas. Five of them surround the fish and the biggest cuda took one bite and ripped its tail off. I wasn't too happy.
Overall it was a great day diving for me. It was a little bit uncomfortable but worth the trip. It's always a pleasure diving with my good friend Davie.
Big hands and a fresh haircut works every time for Davie. 
couple more pieces and the bed will fall <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Nice gun Davie. Is this one longer the previous. What did you change from previous gun?
