Re: Santa Barbara Conditions Report "Perma-Thread"
I would go with a short euro gun. you can probably find a 75 used for less than $ 100, and they have the reach for days when you mis-judge the vis and end up hunting calico's in clear water

Re: Santa Barbara Conditions Report "Perma-Thread"
Who did I see getting into the water at Devereaux yesterday at sunset? Looked like you were suited up for a lobster dive but had a short railgun with you also.

Re: Santa Barbara Conditions Report "Perma-Thread"

Re: Santa Barbara Conditions Report "Perma-Thread"
Yes. I have the cressi reel on mine. It's like $30 and pretty decent. It's a great little set up.

Re: Santa Barbara Conditions Report "Perma-Thread"
Down-side of those guns is that the bands are proprietary (using threaded connectors) and they use a metal articulating wishbone that can be very dangerous on the hands if you're not careful. You can get a euro-to-american band adapter kit in order to make your own bands. (I think they are like $30). If you want to use soft wishbones, you have to change the shaft out for one with smooth notches (I think the aim rite shafts have smooth rounded notches).

Re: Santa Barbara Conditions Report "Perma-Thread"
This issue has been covered pretty exhaustively. Our local wardens don't consider floppers as "hooked devices" unless you have bugs with holes in them. That is right from the mouth of one of the local wardens, btw.
