Re: Light tuna gun

While my tuna gun is very heavy, the 22 pounds (weightless in the water) is used to drive the shaft forward, not the rear into my face. It makes a very stable platform..

Regarding the capture guides. The art is in the taper of the guide as the tabs approach before the nylon (or Spectra) wish bone line hits the guide. Each guide has a 3-inch ramp to prevent it from being destroyed.

I've never had a rubber, or a shaft hang and with only 3, 3-inch points of contact, the shaft is very fast and accurate.
