hey! another la jollan

hey whats up...for WSB a biller wont cut it...hate to break it to you

i used to have a 36 and even after modding it with a longer shaft and 3 shortened bands, it cant do the job...they work alright on halibut though

for WSB you NEED a slip tip or a very good gill plate shot with a hawaiian shaft - the reason for this being is that they have very soft flesh - exactly why they taste so good. Biller does make some decent slip tips but you can modify it a bit so that it works like a Riffe Ice pick, which is dakine for this kind of hunting...if you havent already, talk to Mark at James Joseph dive shop down in shelter island - this guy is a great hunter and operates the only reputable riffe dealership in san diego - he also carries OMER gear and just got in many rob allen guns, which are affordable and powerful...good luck!
