Mono ....

Mono mono mono - I'll say it again - Mono. You just can't keep good mono down.

Bodyboard's a good idea, cut it in half and join it with elastic 'hinges' - that way it folds up easily to fit in your car. It's a BIG schlep to drag around with you though .... I posted a pic of one somewhere on these forums ... damned if I can remeber where though.

Reason for mono over dynema is that mono is 'smoother' in the water, making your spear go faster ... and it takes a lot to tag mono, whereas dynema (or any other braid) will hook up easier in rocks, kelp etc.

What about a floatline? Either pvc tube or bungee type .... evil grin.

I've taken a lot of photos making the last line, the one I sent to Andrsn (Dude did you get it yet??) I'll probably post it either here with some info or on Andrsn's website sometime ...

Ciao.
