Re: Ulusub Spearfishing Co. New Speargun Range
I love that Riffe Mag Track. But, I'm pretty sure it's patented, so I can't put one in on this side. Pretty simple to install one though.. Just sink one in about 3/4 depth from the bottom of your gun, and either fill with a dowel or density foam on top. Even hide it under the Line Guide. You need to start with a really good magnet. I been trying to figure out a Magnetic Slip Tip.

Re: Ulusub Spearfishing Co. New Speargun Range
I thought there would be a patent issue which is why I brought it up but didn't know the history. I would find it hard to believe they would file suit on such a small scale anyways, but who knows, thats not really the point.
Its an incredibly good and simple idea. I might try the modification myself. I'll have to start looking for a proper magnet. Thanks guys. |

Re: Ulusub Spearfishing Co. New Speargun Range
Neodymium are very powerful magnets. I perform consulting work at a mine (Molycorp) that mines rare earth minerals, Neo is one of them. I have two small magnets that were given to me a few years back (size of a Mike & Ike candy). These magnets are so strong you can barely separate them when they are together.
They quit giving them out cause people were hurting themselves with them. When you try bringing the two magnets together, the magnetic draw is so strong it was catching people off guard and cutting/pinching ends of fingers. |

The upside of more powerful is you can go smaller.

Re: Ulusub Spearfishing Co. New Speargun Range
Please do not post the pics yet...the lack of pics is the only thing keeping me from doing bad things to my bank account.
