Re: The DeeperBlue.net Gun Building Extravaganza - Gun Options 3 - Rail & Spear Diame

Has it been said that sharkfins are not only useful for loading?
Sharkfins are also said to make shafts stronger and less likely to snap or bend when fighting a big fish. In facts the notches cut into the body of the spear are the weak point for any shaft.
I'm using the Omer 6,3 with sharkfins on my Omer Master Comp 106, that is a "halftrack" gun (it has a rail with high edges on just 1/3 of the barrell). My choice doesn't have much to do with loading ease, but with the fact that I had a notched shaft snapped in two after shooting a big bluefish...

PS: nice gun Spaniard. Said Spearboard style: "Man...that Nerdmod euro is sick"...
