Welcome! I hope to dive the Azores very soon! Seen a few shows on the Azores and it looks like a beautiful place.

That's good for reef fish as a tag line, but a bigger pelagic can take that in no time at all. Most guys running float lines are using 100 up to 120' with a small float on the end. My buddy in Santa Barbara shot a 47# Wsb and he almost lost his whole set up. He shot it in an area with little kelp so it couldn't tie up very fast. He was using a 100' float line. I have a 100' that I use for Baja reefs with a large lifeguard float on the end, but I prefer reels in kelp. Plus you get almost three times the amount of line...

Are you just using shooting line at the moment? Easy way to lose a gun..
You just need a reel and good shot placement with a straight head. Let it run and run unless you have a great holding shot, then apply some pressure and save yourself some time re-spooling the reel. Since you are going for all fish, slip tips are asking for trouble. Once you start going exclusively for pelagics, get a slip tip and keep a spare straight head around rigged.

Finally got my C100s wet. WOW! These things are crazy efficient. I was down to 50' in the same number of kicks it takes me to get to 30' with my plastic Cressi's. Big kudos to Dan for making such an awesome fin!
I also got a few compliments on them at the beach as a diver was exiting the water. But he was just as amazed to see an Aeris F10, the carbon fins, a wood gun, and my GoPro. :cool2:
Cheers!

Nice!! I was stoked on the gift certs. When they came up I was hesitant, but a quick search on my phone, I found out that the one I like only goes for $100, so I got a steal as well!

Yea, my dad tried on the vest and when he went to buckle it the buckle popped off the strapping. He was just too thick in the shoulders, but he is 6'1 and 215. The arm holes were riding up into his pits. Everyone I've shown has loved it, but there needs to be another size for the larger guys..

Nope, just a tide watch. But I loved that thing, always took it out diving. Can't wait for the f10!
