I replaced it with a cheap $70 Pacific reel basically an mvd clone and it's much much better. I did notice your better shooting line management you glued into the cuttlefish pretensioner and I made my own from stainless thanks so much for that its great , the tiny plastic ones it had weren't sufficient for double shooting line , it always popped off in current . and I put he new upgraded line release mechanism .... so now finally the guns worth having...what a journey thanks pathos hahah,

Yep, saw your older video and have been rigging mine like that since I got the gun. One thing I found was that if you use dyneema that is to thick the knot where you tie onto that spear becomes to large and it gets caught in the roller head and somehow snaps off that thin bit of plastic under the roller head. There must be a heap of power and force at the roller head.
@donsolomon8501
@donsolomon8501 2 жыл бұрын
ya it's very powerful so it's important that the shooting line is perfect every time. I use a "rapala" knot on my dyneema shooting line. I've never had any hold ups at the muzzle. I also always use the hole through the spear that goes into the cassette. I like that the dyneema takes up some of the lateral play and keeps the spear centralized.

Hi. Thanks a lot. Yes my go to gun in clear water is the carbon 100 roller. When I'm diving deep I use either the 105 or 115 sniper roller. I use a 7mm spear on my carbon rollers and a 7.5mm on the sniper roller. So the sniper roller for me is more powerful as it has a 16mm booster band. It has better bouyancy and weight management for very deep dives. But less agile than the carbon. So for me personally the guns have their place. I've modified my sniper roller to take a 7.5mm. Both reels are brilliant, I use the vertical 70 purely to carry max. Reel line. Most of my diving is deep and therefore need 60m+ line. My carbon 100 I use a 50m reel with 1.5mm dyneema so I can get 70m on the gun.

I’m a huge proponent of Pathos, I think they are super guns and I recommend them to everyone. My guns are many years old and very well used, I have an occasional problem with one gun where the spear sometimes won’t engage when inserted into the mech - sometimes it won’t catch and then I really need to slam it in. It doesn’t always happen and when I took it apart, I couldn’t see an obvious cause. It’s the Diangelo II handle, any ideas?

@@donsolomon8501 Yes, I do have the line going through the back of the spear - it's not super thick line though - maybe that's the issue though. I did try the line on the sharkfin but really didn't like it - I can't quite remember why - I think it was something to do with it catching the wishbone while loading. I'm using the little pin line release. Do you think it's probably just the line on the back of the spear? It's weird as it doesn't always do it, but when it does, the spear just won't catch and I cant load the gun, normally for a few minutes, then it'll just work again.

Hi Don, I used your method of rigging the gun which worked best. I had the 90mm but the De’Angelo 2 trigger mech failed so got the gun changed under warranty for a 100mm same as yours. One issue with the roller head is the little plastic bit that sticks out the front, this was brittle and broke off. It looks like it shouldn’t do much but it makes loading the gun easier so removed Pathos roller head and replaced with MVD head. Now I don’t have the kicker band but I can load faster. I found there wasn’t much clearance under the bridle to get the spear through but no such problem with the MVD head. It would be good to see Pathos come out with a few different roller head designs. Do you know if any non Pathos reels fit the gun just incase I can’t get a Pathos one? Love the guns accuracy.
