hi all,
i am still a new to spearfishing and have a question regarding the setting/rigging up of the float line to the gun. any of the more experienced spearos able to give some advice?. i am mainly doing rock hops within the coast line area and not diving very deep (approximately 3 to 7 metres).. i am not sure what is the standard configuration of the gun and float set up for rock hops?? would the rig be something like this----> gun attached to shark clip-> to float line -- to float--> to fish keep?? also what is the purpose of using a shark clip when i could just tie a knot using the float line to the gun?? where else would i be using the shark clips in the setup??
-another thing i am trying to figure out is handling of the float line as it is fairly bouyant. while swimming at the surface i am bound to get tangled at times. which is quite annoying. is there any way specific method of line handling that some one can touch on? What i mean is, is there any way of tying/ managing the float line in such a way that when i dive deeper it slowly releases itself? or is it meant to be let free the minute i am in the water.??
lastly is there a setup where i do not have to attach my gun to the floatline considering i am not going after huge fish??
it will be great if you guys can help! thanks!
