Re: Questions From A Newbie

Thanks Heds,

My rubbers are 17.5mm twins (no use, but 2 years old!), where do I get new ones and are they gun specific?

Shame about the "season" I wasn't expecting much Vis', but didn't realise that the fish move out in winter. The cold was a given really

Advice on the new rubber would be good and perhaps a bit more advice on another little excitement that I ran into last night. The gun hasn't ever been used and the line was attached to the spear through a hole in the spear, but nbot in the end of it. There was an untidy knot stopping it pulling through when fired and this was going to work smoothly in the water. I therefore cut and removed the lind and threaded it through the hole in the very end of the spear and used a crimp to tidy the line up. When I did this, I didn't consider clicking it into the trigger housing first and it ended up too tight - so I cut it and tried again!!

This has left me short on line, to the extent that I can't tidy the line up around the trigger arm to keep it out of the way when diving. I've made an extension with nylon cord, which has done the job (or seems to have), but a bit of me thinks original is best. Are the lines, cords and bungees all standard for a 75 gun and easy enough to get hold of?

Bit long winded, but I'm there now!!

advice always appreciated
