mono fins or bi?

[gman]

Okay, I am getting back into the game. I also posted this in the gear section, so forgive me if that was inappropriate. I have to get new fins one way or another. I am very intrigued by monofins. Does anyone hunt with monofins? I have onlyused bi-fins in the past. Is there a huge advantage or disadvantage one way or another?? If I had to go in only ONE direction, bi or mono, which should I go???

Thanks

I would say u should definetly ditch the mono fins if ur gonna hunt and ofcourse go with bi!!!

Think of it this way, if you go to a bar and pick up a girl, now if that girl is bi it opens up a whole new range of opporunities dosen't it? ;-) My guess is that bifins would be better for hunting! //Tompa, hours away from 3 days of uw-rugby camp!

monofins make you a good set of abs. but i agree. bi is better

I like the lateral thinking of the people on this forum.

I've been using a monofin for deep spearfishing for a little while now, it's working well. Not so good for sneaking around rocks with because you need to move so much of your body to go anywhere, but great for weedlines. Using it with a floatline takes a bit of getting used to but it's manageable. It also lets you cover distance much faster than surface swimming with bifins!

Hard work if you don't do lots of pool training with a mono - but no better way of getting fit than using one for a day's spearfishing!

Oh, err - if you just have one option then make it bifins. Not much point using a mono in shallow.
