Re: ono?

What sort of fish do you hunt? I have 5 Wongs including the ono, but I don't get much use of the ono in So Cal. It really is overkill here in my estimation.

Whatever the gun, here is a way to hook up what is known as a Hawaiian Breakaway. Its much more failsafe than the Riffe system in which the rubber thingie has to pull out of the hole in the butt.

Size your mono or cable shooting line so that the loop in the rear end is a few inches from the line release. Put a loop of bungee cord through the loop in the shooting line and stretch it over the line release, then clip your float line to the loop in the shooting line. When you pull the trigger, your gun is out of the chain.

My apologies to all who have seen this 69 times before.
