Re: flopper size

Never used a trident head much myself but some people swear by them especially for use on fish in caves/holes. The "mac" ones are suposed to be the dogs what'sit's. Expensive though, I think. Seen them in use on a DVD and the term "paraliser" certainly seems apropriate.

My "hole" diving was always done with a short pneumatic firing an 8mm shaft with a twin barb (flopper) head. The barbs were spring loaded to fly open when a fish was struck.
