think i got it actually, shark clip to gun, then speed needle then rope, my mistake
reckon a fish stringer would be necessary or just let the fish go down on the rope

Let them go down the rope, presuming you have a float tied to the other end. Thread the needle through one of the gills then out the mouth, they drag through the water a whole lot easier than if you thread straight through the gills.

thanks for the input, realised i think before not totally sure
how to clip the shark swivel clip onto the gun

(not sure if it unscrews or something, maybe weld :S)

and the needle to the shark swivel
(suppose you have to force it (might figure that out, seems to slide in somehow)

gun- swivel -clip-spike -float line -clip-swivel- float.
Thank god I spotted my mistake first.

Post subject:  Re: speargun rigging thing

thanks greg. you have to have another clip at the end?
how do you clip the sharkclip to the gun and guessing the speed needle slides in somehow
main one sharkclip to gun-<it has a swivel attached already
thanks

also greg, whats that thing you said a while ago, a lure or something attached to the end of your gun, like a flasher. said it was like 6 dollars or something from a fishing shop. thanks chief

Get the hang of the basics before you start with stuff like flashers.

Splice a short peice of heavy rope to the gun handle bout 150mm long then splice a loop at the other end with the shark clip on it..then u can clip the fish threader straight to the shark clip

If you want a float on a budget you can have my picasso float for $20 it's not emaculet but it does the job and will be more visible than a noodle with a bin lid.....
