16's Adam on a 1000 Tuna. Plenty of oomph, even when just using one rubber in tight country.
Surprised how quickly one of the original rubbers perished though, didn't get that many shots out of it. Replaced it with some Latex USA rubber which is going well.
The other original rubber though is fine.

rod fish most of the time .have jumped in a few times ,but am yet to feel comfortable about it .no gun just a giddgie set up riding shot gun for somonme on a cray mission .its a diferent world when you don a set of goggles though .an amazing place under the water
always in it just the depth that varies
I did when I was younger, but haven't for a while now. Thinking of getting back into diving, have all the gear but the tanks will have to be stamped again. Suspect all the seals in the reg would be stiff too!

Yep Alfred,
Get your tanks tested and get a kit put through the regs and you'll be right to go. let us know if you need a dive buddy always dreamed about having a dive off a Boston Whaler or a Mako Centre console

At the moment I'll usually have a fish then a snorkel/spear on the same day. Depending on how the latter goes, I might fish again in the arvo.

I hate bottom bouncing and trolling with a passion so for me spearfishing offers an exciting, challeging and interesting way to catch a feed.
On the line though, just love my sportfishing (GT popping, jigging etc..)
