Hey mate,
Whereabouts are you in WA? I'm in Perth, I'm guessing from your description that you are further north.

Re: new spearo

If you are diving deep or shooting big game then get a float line (unless you have a reel). If you're going to be doing shallow reef dives for smaller fish, go without the float. The float is a hastle and when you don't really need it it is an aggravation. That being said, if you do choose to go with the float I would suggest checking out some o the DIY stuff on this site. A float is one of those things that you can save yourself some major bucks my making it yourself.
