Hey so I just bought my first spear gun, until now I've only used slings but every now and then I see a tasty fish that I just can't get close enough to, so I've taken the leap and bought an Undersee Terminator spear gun, I'm a total noob to spear guns so I thought I'd post some pictures on here and see if there's anything that needs to be addressed. My friend owns a spear gun and the thing he hooks into the spear to load it is like a thin piece of wire on his rubber, but on my rubber it has like a white rope, is that normal? why isn't it metal? and I know close to nothing about the operations of spear guns, like what I do with the string/wire that is attached to the spear in order to ensure it doesn't get tangled and stuff like that. Any useful information or advise would be greatly appreciated, now here are some pics of pretty much every part of my spear gun and I have very little idea about any of its purpose or how to use it (besides the safety, I understand that) and the trigger, but more info on how the trigger works would even be appreciated, I'd like to know this gun like the back of my hand.

Thank you very much I've now found out that there's a part on my spear gun called a wishbone and mine is a dyneema wishbone, will i need to modify the spear at all to av oid damaging the wishbone? here is a pic of the spear notches and wishbone, any info on either would be great thanks.

Spearos prefer dynema wishbones. New divers often change wishbones, and also spear shafts, in order to use dynema. Your gun is ahead of the game. You don't need to do anything but use it.
