First off HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE On this great forum, hope 2008 brings you health, wealth, happiness and plenty of fish!!!!!!!!
Finally finished these proto guns and hopefully will try them out this weekend...whataya guys (and gals) think???
The picture show
a close up of the muzzle (in line with shaft) about 4" at widest,
a spare shaft carried on the gun (with fins in barrel) its also a shark bayonet

, close up of "spring lock" holding spare shaft, a crimped line or slide ring can be used or it can be freeshafted, "band tamer" hold bands not used on underside of gun, handle is 2 part moldable poxy for a custom fit and is completely removable for travel, smaller gun is 8# with 2 shafts and larger is 10# both rear handle and have a Ipe wood inset for reel, note the guns "wedge" shape which makes it surprisingly hydrodynamic, these are my first guns and I'm stoked with the results...can't wait to see it perform.
If any local guys can volunteer to video the trail performance it would be great PM if your game!!!
