I wish everybody else who posted a video on how rig a spear would just delete. Your video is so much better and concise. Thank you

More to come. Thank you for the feedback.

Awesome video, first one I've found that actually shows the setup process with the string, not just pulling back the bands. Ordered my first speargun today, I live near the Florida Keys and will be doing the majority of my spearing there. Cheers!

I'm glad to share - I have to highly recommend taking a freediving course, maybe you have already? I met a guy from Florida that was teaching and seemed quite good if you need a referral. What kind of speargun did you purchase?

[@renedelgado1572]

@@DepthWish yeah that would be great! I am a certified scuba diver but no experience free diving besides KZbin videos. I got a Koah Euro 48.

@@renedelgado1572 I keep trying to respond to this and the PC is crashing but anyway, definitely get a course in before you go. I personally like Molchanov and SSI organizations. The money you spend will not only make you safer but make you a lot better and may save your life. I am certified instructor and I won't taken even my best friends out until they can demonstrate some of the most important skills. Florida has a big community of spearos and on FB there are often clubs. I am a member of a bunch of them in places that I have visited and it's a bunch of instant kindred spirits. I highly recommend doing that after your course!

[@renedelgado1572]

@@DepthWish I will look into some courses. I want to be safe, no doubt. I have a healthy respect for water and don't plan to do anything difficult until I get my learning. I appreciate your time, thanks for the responds!

Hi I have 2 x 16mm bañds on my 110cm speargun an it difficult to load can I use 14mm bands? It has a160 cm , 7mm shaft .

[@DepthWish]

160 cm shaft on a 110 cm track sounds really long. If it were me, I would work on loading technique and keep all of that power in the bands. It makes all of the difference for range and for getting through a big fish. Do you have access to someone that can weld on extra "shark fins" on top of the shaft? You could have 1 or 2 put at easier spots and then put on your sternum to jack them to the next spot. I think the short answer is you could use thinner bands but I would want to use whatever the speargun was designed for. If it hurts your hip or your chest, put an old flip flop under your wetsuit.

You are loading the gun against your belly ?😳

[@DepthWish]

I am right handed so I will load on my right hip or my lower abs. If it the speargun has very tight rubbers, I will load it to one of the easier shark fins on top and then I put it on my sternum to move it up to the higher position shark fins on the top of the spear shaft.
