Guys, I have been sending these little packets of rigging all over the world to help out desperate spearos who cant find what they want in their area.
I have put together these packages for anyone who needs one but from now on I will be charging the cost price + postage. Sorry but my generosity does have bounds :) So pm me if you want one.

CAN'T!! CAN'T!! Never say CAN'T. Just because it did not come with a way does not mean you can not do it. Post a pic to of the gun or a link to a site that has pics, we can find a way! You just have to be a little crafty! :)

The rigging pictured above is for rigging your shooting line

<----shaft--------_____shooting line________~~~bungee~~~===gun====<1

In short its for the monofilament connecting your gun to your shaft. The bungee is used to make a shock line between the mono and the muzzle of the gun to help w/ landing fish and preventing tear-offs.

You should be able to connect a float line to your gun. If it doesnt have a hole, or a pin underneath the handle to attach a loop of braided line or a heavy guage mono, you could always drill one in the butt(no comments necicary:blackeye)
 
i would try n drill a hole in it (wouldent turn out toooooo good) but my handles hollow :confused: maby sticking some wood in there or somthing hahah
heres the url to my speargun
Undersee Australia Store: Zap 750 Speargun

be amzed at how crap it is
eg: i was sparfishing on a reef just yesterday, and there wasnt much but i saw a shoel of skippys about 30cm long i was only 1 meter away from them, and when i shot my spear and it only travelled about 3 quaters of a meter! as per ususal, is it becasue it is a cave gun??:confused:
 
rofl Sorry asantirims, I don't think it's because it's a cave gun, however it may be? I think it's coz it's a 3year olds toy. I saw a similar gun to that in an Anaconda store and almost died from laughter. You'd have better luck using a pole spear or hawain sling. try getting hold of a small Rob Allen gun, or Pelaj gun. You can get base models for around $230AUS It's still pretty hefty but well worth it compared to what you're using. If you have any one going to South Africa or coming over from there get them to bring one with them.

Indeed you would be better off using a pole spear, that thing looks like a novelty toy you'd get in a showbag!
 
Great idea Foxfish, I could have done with one of those last year.
 
kudos foxfish very handy kit to have. I buckeled at the begining of the year and bought loads of everything as ,uk been what uk is, theres no shop around for miles that has the stuff
 
You can find instructions on db & you should be able to buy all those components locally.
I just bought them from a fishing tackle shop but if you get stuck I can send you a pack for £6.00.
