How to set up an Apnea linewinder
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- This linewinder and floatline is quite popular for spearfishing in the UK. This is how I set up the gear for shore spearfishing.
The equipment was brought from the spearfishing store. It is really cheap and simple (great for beginners) , there are many better alternatives out there but this does the job.
Top tips. I am new to this and this was very helpful. I set one up this weekend! Cheers
Thanks Tom, I'm glad it helped!
Thanks. Very clear and helpful
That’s great, thanks! 👍
Thanks for the tutorial 👌🐟👌
No problem 👍
Thanks for helpful vid. 👍
Thanks for the comment, good to hear it's helped people
Quick maybe silly question, will this unwind automatically? ie if you put the float in the water will the line winder unwind if moving a bit? logically it wouldnt, but wondering if it does,
@@rudabb69 it can unwind if there’s tension on the line and waves moving the float. You can tie the line off though so there’s a set amount of line out and won’t unravel anymore
@@ryane8881 Great. I will test it off the jetski. the idea is to stay as compact as possible and deploy in the water as you stop the jetski and its still moving forward
Very useful video mate, I never knew how to use this line winder. Also the line that you are using, is that strong/dyneema? I have the same one that I got with my buoy and I have not used it yet.
Thanks! The line comes with the float and its not great but it floats and is strong enough for what I need!
@@ryane8881 what if this line is used with a pvc tubing? Will that setup make this stronger?
@@ryane8881 may be the combination with pvc tubing supposedly increases the strength of the overall rope. I wonder how big of a fish will it be able to hold if we set it up like that using this rope that comes with the float
@@Gearsub Hi yes you can make those type of float lines but for spearfishing in the UK they aren't needed!
👍
Thank you
When are you planning to get back in the water?
All depends on the weather really, weather has been rubbish recently and ruins the viz. Do you spearfish?
@@ryane8881 Ok thanks. Yeah whenever I can bear the temperature. Really need to get a new wetsuit though. Vis was good yesterday down at church ope by the way, 3m or so
@@bencadec9497 Cheers for the tip off, I was there a few weeks ago and caught 3 brown crabs but I didn't see many fish around. I got myself a cressi tracina 7mm and works great so far
@@ryane8881 No problem. Thanks for the suit suggestion. Going to have a look at that. Might just be the one I'm looking for. May see you down there one day :)
Hey Ryan, some great content here, keep up the good work! I’m new to Spearfishing, driving down to Dorset this weekend for a dip. Will you be around to join?
Cheers Jack that's good to hear! Thanks man but I don't think i'm able to spearfish this weekend but hopefully soon.
Hi Ryan, what length of line do you have on that winder?
Cheers,Adam.
I think it's 25 meters, you could easily add more if needed
I will go an try and rig mine this way. I use a stiff and thick floatline, but I hope it will work. The way I been setting it up is dumb as F XD
I might have to modify a bit from your way, but it will be simelar.
Why do you take the end that goes to the float trough both holes and not just the one?
You can just thread it through one hole if you want, no special reason why I did it that way just how I did it.
Yes it helps, greetings from the Azores
@@fredericocabeco781 thanks 👍
Hi Ryan
Been enjoying your videos for a while.
Ive just got myself some cressi fins, mask and snorkel as initially i simply want to dive and forage as opposed to spearfish.
I've bought a 30 mtr reflective float line,surface marker and stash bag,but where would you suggest i fix the end of the line to please? as i obviously wont have a spear gun.
Many regards chap
Thanks Karl!
When foraging in the past I used a mini anchor/weight on the end of the line and dropped anchor to fix the SMB in place, then dive around it. It was great to have both hands free.
Another option could be to fix the line to your belt or a lanyard on your wrist. It's easier to drift over large areas but more dangerous if the line gets caught on rocks as it may stop you getting back to the surface.
Either way will probably take some getting used to but good luck!
@@ryane8881 Thanks Ryan.
Looks like I'll have to find which suits me best.
I wanted your opinion as i was concerned about the safety aspect of fixing the line directly to my wrist, for the reasons you mentioned.
Thankyou for taking the time to reply
Dive safe,keep well chap
thank you! very useful!
Cheers 👍
Very good
Thanks
Thank you very much. I finally figured out how to use it.
Thanks for letting me know!! 😀
Very nice. I like the little loop threaded stopper at the end to control how much line is paid out. My line winder came with a Velcro strap for that and that gets a little annoying to use.
Thanks, yeah different way to loop it around the wonder but it works very well!
Very useful video. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the comment!
hey buddy just got the same line winder lol .. can i ask where you got your clips ? .. thanks
Plastic clips came free with line. I’ve since upgraded plastic clips to metal ones
@@ryane8881ah i see,... the metal ones not break easy due to the salt water ?..
@@NorthernLoki I haven't had the plastic clips break yet but under strain they have come off the speargun... chasing down my float wasn't fun! They are useful and incredibly cheap but where there is lots of strain I'd recommend metal ones
@@ryane8881 nice where u get ur metal clips ?
