Welcome to the forum. Many Floridian divers here for you to connect with.

In my youth, I would be a Rodney Hammerhead when it came to pinging on people for a response to my question. Then I learned:
The absence of communication, is in fact communication, and that communication centers around the word "No".

Everyone stumbles/falls. It is the manner in which they recover that demonstrates their true character.

Welcome to this forum. There is a great deal of information disseminated here for those that dive.

LBuster,
Thank you. Sometimes the intuitive notion is the accurate one.
I once heared of a spearo who wore a glove that was white on the palm and would wave to the fish and then tuck the white portion away. He stated this technique almost always lured the fish closer. -
[quote='metelin','http://spearfishing.world/forums/index.php?thread/&postID=49324#post49324']everything sounds good and like don said you wont need the shark shield unless it makes you feel better. bring flashers tough.QUOTE]
Pardon my ignorance, but what are flashers?
-
I am envious that you are able to dive in the Med and the Atlantic. Are there any unique characteristics of either you wish to share?
-
Fine looking guns here.
-
Does anyone else think this could be dangerous?
Dan,
Your caution is valid. I believe this is a point of personal comfort. I recall when playing water polo and the opponent guarding me would hook a toe in my suit and send me below the surface. This was threatening in the same way this covering could be. There seemed to be a solution to every predicament. Maybe, if you gave this product a personal test, you would be able to validate or refute your initial opinion. Thorough testing would vet this product’s benefits, or hazards. -
Welcome to the forum.

Definitely clearwater WSB and paddy fish. Hopefully some wahoo this summer as well.
Zach,
Thank you. I recently built a gun of similar geometry and was interested in hearing which fish you had in mind as targets. Again, nice gun.
-
Nice sized calico. Also appreciate your read of the conditions.
-
Zack, You likely built this gun with a specific type of fish in mind. As a diver of the LeftCoast, what do you envision in your gun sights?
-
I more meant the size of the gun. I have no experience with anything bigger than a 120cm euro style gun. So the idea of a big powerful gun is just awesome, in the biblical sense. I would want something that powerful to be plenty heavy.
LBuster,
I see your point. I do not believe we live in the same state, but should we ever come f2f and be near the water, I think you should fire off a couple of shots. I think it would put a lasting smile on your face. -
So how many past lives have you had? I would like to learn that trick. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
In each life there seems to be a common thread, the pursuit of perfection, which remains just out of reach.

LBuster,
As per the previous post, the mass of this gun was of moderate concern, but all concerns have disappeared through pre-build and post-build testing. I should humbly add that in a previous life, I was a 100 kilo wrestler in college and in the AAU for USA teams. Maneuvering large objects has been a part of my life, for the greater part of my life. -
LA Diver,
My thanks. I know the fish don't care what the gun looks like, but I subscribe to the theory of, "If you are going to build a quality product, it is not that much more challenging to ensure a touch of class".
-
Joe,
Yes. In a previous life I shot firearms competively and know what works for me. Custom built guns provide a fine opportunity to fit the gun to the shooter and not the converse. -
Joe,
Mil gracias.
