Re: C4 roller conversion (Mr. Carbon/Mr. Iron)

I've got a 7mm shaft on it now. The bands, I believe, are 18mm.

The power isn't bad and accuracy is good. However, I'd like to be able to use the gun for striped bass (30+ pounds), and it has...

Re: C4 roller conversion (Mr. Carbon/Mr. Iron)

Also, before I go down this road, does anyone have any idea of what kind of power output/increase I could expect from converting to the roller versus just staying with an 18mm or 20mm single band? ...

Re: C4 roller conversion (Mr. Carbon/Mr. Iron)

You're probably right - better to just pay the money and stick with the kit that's made for it than try to rig it on the cheap.

Re: C4 roller conversion (Mr. Carbon/Mr. Iron)

Any idea whether I could just run a loop over and behind the reel, so that it slid behind the reel's mount to the gun? That way I could avoid drilling into the gun, which I really don't want to do....

C4 roller conversion (Mr. Carbon/Mr. Iron)

I have 94cm Mr. Iron that I'm looking to convert to a roller to get some extra power out of it. There is a foreign site selling this conversion kit to make it an inverted roller. Looks great,...

Re: opinion on pneumatics?

70 Cressi SL is a great gun. I have one with the power reducer option (must have) and had Trombic send me over the dry barrel system a few years ago, which is great.

55 IMPO is too small. The 70...

So. Did you get the tomba on it? How do you like it? Have you noticed much of a difference?

Yup, but it shouldn't be getting tangled when shooting tog. If you've got a striper or pelagic fish spooling your reel and then thrashing around when you bring it to the surface, this can be a...

Re: Warning! Bad trip.

Switch to a boogie board float. I've been caught in some nasty currents at Pt Judith light (one time I was still outside the inlet after the sun went down, probably 150-200 feet off of the wall,...

Re: Cyrano Evo HF Hands On Review

So. Sounds like my Kung fu is weak. Figured it was something like that. The gun is 70cm with a slightly longer than stock spear overhang, so it's at that odd length that's too long to load on the...

Let me know how you like it. I put one on my Cressi and it made the gun harder to load. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen (I probably should have asked Marko, but never got around to it). ...

Re: Cyrano Evo HF Hands On Review

Absolutely true. The gun scratches up to all hell. It's fine by me though. A speargun is a tool, not a piece of art (although some guns are, just not the ones that I own). A good tool should look...

Gun discussion. Mako AR ETR -- I only had you for a minute, but oh what a minute.

I recently returned from a spearfishing trip to the Keys. During that trip, I was fortunate enough to have a friend let me borrow his Mako AR ETR 130 for some of our open water days. I recently...

That is epic. That may be the biggest fish ever taken with a JBL 20. Now that you're 6+ weeks into spearfishing, I think it's time to upgrade to a more serious gun. Congrats on the striper. A...

Re: Key West Trip 11/28 to 12/5

Thanks guys. I would buy the valve, it just seems so overpriced to me and the times I'm going to need it are so few. Tony, did scuba world have the valve connection to pressurize the gun?
