Cressi apache 75

[lewis devilfish scott]

I finally got my gun through the post and im really liking the looks of it.... Yes its a basic tube gun no rail ect... But i think its gonna be some good fun when i go out for a dive

Set it up with a double line wrap(might be a bit much for a single band 75) and shockcord

I have seen its about 50/50 on mono lines or braided lines. Can someone tell me the pros and cons of them?

Now just need to get in the water

Go for mono....crimped well it has never failed me, behaves itself in the water eg. no tangle, reloads etc. Use a boingee/bungee with clip to the shooting line loop so if you battle to get the spear back out of a fish, you can unclip and pull spear and shooting line through and save destroying the fish..

Just buy a kit here with crimps to suit and a swivel clip bungee. http://www.spearfishingstore.co.uk/spears/speargun-line

1.5mm 1.75mm & 2mm are all popular depending on your preference & the stiffness of the line.
Strimer line from B&Q is also a great choice!

I like the lighter size on my 75s as you don't need a bungee due to the line stretch but it will loose its stretch after 10 or so sessions.

Right, just get 2mm or near enough, 300lb to 400lb mono.......it does not matter.....you do not need to be changing shooting line, and crimps every 10 sessions so use a bungee in line.
