Salvimar Max Reel
Hi Guys , any of you try max reel with wood speargun ? I am planning to buy Salvimar Max Reel and because of I don't have clear pictures for the reel I have made a ballast cap with holes ,my plan to hold the reel by 2 screw with nuts and keep lead under the cap ,in pictures below the cap with meandros reel and web picture of the reel ,in the blue arrow can I remove the plastic and replace the screw with longer ones ?

Re: Salvimar Max Reel
I make some pictures as a guide ,replace the short screw by longer the internal thread was soft in composite and hard in the plate so work should be done with some silicon lubrication then fix to my ballast cap with lock nut from other side and its done ,I don't need to drill directly to wood , the most important note the spring where it have been installed between nut and the main screw for brake was very weak this may be the weak point in this design once it squeeze and it lose the stiffness I may replace with little stiff

Re: Salvimar Max Reel
Why is the ballast compartment so far back though? Every gun I've ever had to ballast has been more positive towards the muzzle.

Re: Salvimar Max Reel
You know the the required ballast depend on gun shape and wood density beside your preference for float or sinking style ,I have SS muzzle and small ballast cap in front but due to unexpected density of the sapelli (low) the gun need a lot of lead located near handle, the front was little thin so spear OH with muzzle will give the required weight , for this build I am making similar gun to Abellan I'll update my old post for bissilom /kosipo wood with clear picture for this build once I try in next trip .
