hi charles, love your video, what is the band size of polespear you recommend? what length? for 9 foot polespear (i got the evolve speed)

Definitely

Agreed

Yep, tremendous video.

No truer words

I agree - very helpful!

I came to the comments to say this

Spear fishermen do not shoot by using sights even if some spear guns have sights. Fire arm shooter myself, spear fishing is more kwick instinct shooting than aiming. With some of the most powerful spear guns 4 Mts -12 Ft is way out yonder. I did my share of 5 mts hiting smal 2-4 Lbs spanish mackrel. And also missed some real nice 15 Lbs fish at close range. A life time of hunting and spear fishing

So sorry for the confusion, I should have specified that I was referring to shotguns as this is what we mainly use in the Bahamas. glad you enjoyed the video, thank you.

Shotguns huh. I think you need a lot more experience and a whole lot of study before you coach anybody about firearms.

Most fish today are hunter smart at free diving deph. Unless very lucky or very dumb small fish ,get a double band spear gun. if close one rubber band if out yonder 2 bands. Will save you a lot of frustation

@@WillyK51 What?

@@VidarrKerr What about? If you speak German You would be very interested in Hans Hass pioneer diver and spear fisherman, Google him up

@@VidarrKerr Forgot about KZfaq, Look him up there

That's great to hear Alex. You will love it.. go crush some World records girl, Show them how it's done !

Just jumped in my pool to try this technique out. Amazing the difference in my shot accuracy. Thanks!

Sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any help you can offer me

@Kye Clyde i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Kye Clyde It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

@Joe Lewis you are welcome :)

The Headhunter Nomad pole spear is currently the best option for your money. This is what i'm using in this video as an example.

Hi, I found a 2 year old question. If you don't twist the bungee when you are spearfishing, the pole spear can bend or break.

This was filmed in Clarence town harbour Long island Bahamas

What is your breath hold time ?

Yes, you are correct in a way. You can't use a float line because of the amount of drag it creates, although we use what we call ''Shooting lines'' for pelagics and giant fish. the shooting line is 400lb to 600lb speactra or mono that attaches directly to the slip tip cable then passes through or over the back of the pole spear and leads up to the grip on the spear where you draw the pole to max power. like you said, as you draw the pole spear rubber, you also have that shooting line in your same hand. This has been our typical setup although we are planning to use rubbers with the shooting line inside of it instead. this helps to keep it simple and easy.

Yes that’s a method invented by Gat-ku. The lighter spears were becoming pretzeled and this breakaway set up with shooting line allowed lighter weight spears to be used on larger fish. I’ve tested 1/8” wall with 1/2”, 9/16”, 5/8” od rubber to see how much it could take. They all can handle any fish and have a floatline attached without breaking. That’s if it’s in good shape. I used to run a small line of spectra inside the band just incase the rubber broke. I went away from that once I tested how strong my bands were. You probably know this but watch the spear coming back at you if the fish makes a hard run and stretches your band. If it tears off, that spear is headed back at you. A couple methods, one with two hands spread the band apart this will lesson the rearward travel. If single handing it hold the spear away from your body as you don’t want it in your face. With roller spears they come back and slap your hand even during use. This gets old through the day because it only happens when your missing. I designed two big floppers that went over the front of the spear and they would open and slow down that rearward travel. Kinduv a gimmick but they worked. Best is to have a floatline attached and play the fish off that and if the fish does break off you’re not getting hit.

You should buy the Headhunter Nomad pole spear. get the 9 foot size, it comes in 3 pieces to easily travel with.

@@lukemaillis8695 I was thinking for a roller speargun! I want to hunt in open water! What is your opinion?
