i dont usally shoot hogfish below 10lbs.. usally around 15lbs so i dont shoot to many small fish.. the lowest i go is 5lbs snapper but they usally not below 9lbs.. if i getting desprate.. i find the spear the best i have ever used and is the only spear ill use.
its amazing.. nice to know i can shoot anyithing and its not going to break my spear and die later. if i take a shot at it its mine bascally. extra confidence. got a 73lbs rockfish two weeks ago saturday and a 35lbs rockfish the next day... but bent all my spears.. the only problem i have with it is the lack of access to parts.. the shaft that the tip sits on in a BIG fish. or in the rocks its almost impossible to get a new one.. kinda sucky for a 400buck spear. andrew is a nice guy went out with him spearing a few summers ago. dru Last edited by dru; April 12th, 2005 at 23:27.

wow..those things are 400???? well..guess thats not too bad since you arent replacing your spear every year. i got what seems to be the $100 smaller version. dont know if you've seen them in makin waves, three part aluminum travel spear like the henley, but its black, made by trident, and about as think in diameter as the regular fiberglass ones. So far i love it since it seems strong as hell yet fast like the smaller ones. Havent seen anything big though since ive gotten it so it hasnt been put through all its paces.
oh... i know you mentioned it earlier, but just makin sure.. you recommend the omer titanium 3mm for winter divin? yeah shaw was sayin last year that he went out with you a couple times.. he wasnt around last summer so we didnt get to go out.. and i only made it out like 4 times. He'll be back this sumemr though so hopefully ill be out way more often.

yeah..i guess it just matters what side you hunt from..either hangin close to the reef to camo wiht the rock, or huntin just off the reef and comin in towards it.
im not sure which to get, although ill prob end up with the titanium... save some bucks since i dont have a boat and dont go out as much as i want..teh same ol story..hehe.

na.. its starting to get to warm for it now, when i first got it i had to let water in it in january becaseu i would get hot.. now i have had it for a few years now its not that bad.. but WAY to warm to wear during the summer months. if you want something for then get a 1mm lycra or something like that. but a 3mm omer is like a 5mm normal... WARM AS HELL.
