Long distance (expedition) hunting

[Mr. X]

Hi tbgsub, I got the gist of your post but some of the terms are new to me. Sounds like a Foam Weenie is what we call a pool Noodle. "Spare Fixy Poms"? N-boat (like a planche?). I think some forum members have filled their inflatible floats with solid foam to achieve a similar affect. I have an 11 litre RA solid float with dive flag but more often use an inflatible buoy as we don't get bit fish & the inflatible is light & packs up real small - handy for long walk-ins.

Interesting about the Atoll. I've been looking at floats recently to see if there is something that would offer decent protection for my second gun around the rocks I often dive (an old boogie board seems the best bet so far - I reckon something like a torpedo float with a deep central groove might be best). Love the suggestion of using a pool seat!

the pictures looked like it was all fiberglass with a lid or hatch on top, if it fill with water, or fish, looked like it can become a sinker. Only sinking thing I like on my line are large dying fish!!

by the way, you wouldnt happen to be ralated to "Racer X" would YOU?


I am now looking at innertubes for wheel barrow wheels to stuf into my float bag that could pressure to near 2 atmospheres without ripping the bag!

best of luck making a float that doesnt sink, or a bouy that doesnt sound like a whale.

this was exactly the `meaning` from my answer..
