Spearfish in a group to make it more fun and more comfortable because you will learn from each other and protect one another. You have to plan to avoid the inconveniences that come with forgetting tools that cannot be improvised. You will need fins, gloves, fin socks, wetsuit, first aid kit, mask and snorkel, float line, and float, knife, a spear gun, shaft, and line, weights, belt and extra gear. Are wondering what type of a spear gun you should carry? There are several types of spearguns for fishing. Have you ever heard about a pneumatic speargun and what should you know about it?
The first pneumatic speargun was made in the 1950s. It is a popular spearfishing gun. The gun needs “priming” before it is taken under the water. Fill the sealed chamber with air using a hand pump. The gun can take several shots under the water before an air refill is needed because special valves prevent air from escaping the sealed chamber.
Accident firing is prevented by the safety catch to avoid disasters. Get under the water and force a tough steel shaft into the barrel until the firing mechanism is in the right position. Before you pull the trigger to release the piston ensure that the safety catch is off.
The guns are reliable, powerful and compact. The ‘Hi-Lo’ power actuator most of the pneumatic speargun models allow the user to adjust them to high power when shooting at a long-range and low power at a short range. You need more physical strength to handle a larger pneumatic speargun than a smaller one.
These guns also have their challenges which you should know. These guns not only require regular servicing and maintenance but they are also noisy hence they can scare away your prey. You will need time to get used to aiming using the gun, but once you are used to it, the gun will be able to make accurate aims.
Sea creatures can use body language to determine the threat and stay away from it thus you will have to find ways to approach the fish without startling them with your body language. You need to be disciplined, patient and an observer for you to learn how the fish move so that you imitate them. Spearfishing is not the time to meditate about the many problems that you have been facing lately but a moment of finding happiness in the small things that you are doing.
