thanks for the answer foxy. after a tangly weekend I am trying to remove everything that I don't neet from my kit. Its not the bungy I don't like, its the bungy, little bit of cord around it and an extra joint that bothers me. Also, a pneumatics spear has the spring on it that reduces shock.... Just and idea. I should probably just be trying it instead of asking
I got second place in a local spear fishing comp. and the w/e though, but can't help thinking that without the snags and tangles I would have won... next time...
