Re: ULUSUB gun + reel + shaft + bag $200 obo

Sorry, I just got Back. Managed to jump in for a look around @ 120 miles out. There was some incredible Purple Water 76 degrees, but after filling the boat with 700lbs of Yellowfin in two hours on Rod and Reel, and with 75lb+ Yellowfin and some Huge Big Eyes busting surface around us, we jumped in along a Temperature break with not perfectly clear 73 degree water. Chummed it up heavy. With about 50' of visibility, I saw some shimmering down by our drifting chum and lined up my 172cm 4 Band Shot Placer. As I descended into better view I thought man.. that is a Big fish!. And as I got a little closer, I realized it was a 10' Hammerhead and it wasn't alone. We retreated and saved ourselves to battle another day.

So I just heard about this. I could fix that gun in a few hours. It's not an easy fix, But you could cut some flats onto that area and match them with a Teak Face. Putting something like an L of teak in place. I've fixed a few guns with similar damage from Propellers or if a fixture fails during routing. Or you could make a fiberglass fiber/woodust epoxy patch. but the gun could get heavier. That was one of a few guns we made a while back with 2 3mm Carbon Fiber Stringers in them. I figure it's a $200 fix to fix it with a wooden plug to match, but a quick and easy fix if you make an Epoxy Patch.

Sad story, but you are probably better off. That's kind of ****ed up to attack a handmade wooden Speargun.

Re: ULUSUB gun + reel + shaft + bag $200 obo

Kerry thanks to remind me of this. I had this gun sitting here to repair and forgot about it. So, I did some work on it today.

I was going to just use a mix of Epoxy, Teak dust, and fillers and make a composite Fill, but some of the cuts were pretty deep so I wanted to remove all of the compromised structure and plug with Teak.

First I gave a scuff with 100grit to take off any humps and see what was going on. One part was deeper than the other and I removed a few chips of metal from when the hatchet blade hit the Carbon Fiber stringers.. must have hurt.. Rather than removing the entire piece to the depth of the deepest cuts, I opted for a two stage plug.

Tomorrow I'll be able to shape and sand uniform with the stock.

Good shit Jon I think it's great that this gun can be resurrected.

What an awesome resurrection story. Make sure to kill a big fish with it and post it on social media after it's done.

You know she's out there still stalking you, so need need to worry about her seeing it.

When you get that gun back, it will be better than new, because now it has a back story!
Fortunately, the gun is so muscular, it wears scars very well!
