Wetwork for Hire
A little project I worked on today.
I think it's all our responsibility to take those bastards out when we see them, but I think a lot of guys are reluctant because they eat a ton of bottom time and we're not going to bring big, bulky zookeepers or catch bags on every dive. If I see 4 Lionfish on a dive and have to clip their spines I could be looking at 5 minutes per fish from initial shot to finally moving on. That could mean half my dive was dedicated to 4 Lionfish which we all know are delicious but provide little meat.
So, here's my solution. Streamlined, quick to deploy, not big like other bags and should hold 6+ Lionfish. Could also serve for lobster, treasure and mermaid hearts. This will also fit in a pocket. At least it fits in my waist pocket I bought for $10 from Piranha Dive Mfg.
This was the first attempt at making it and I think I nailed it, but I'd like to have the guys at the local machine shop make me one with the proper tools... CNC router, etc. I'll test it out Monday to see how it works and maybe put a few into production for sale. The biggest changes I'll make is to use black starboard and a blue bag. I need to also source a 316 spring hinge rather than the brass one I used. A better handle will be in order as well. I do like the clear trap door despite the fact it will get scratched to hell in no time.
Also, if you're not a typical hunter and don't usually carry a speargun or pole spear, the FoldSpear would pair nicely with this. Everything would be stowed away unless you come across these parasites that are destroying our side of the ocean. Foldspear
Anyway, if this is something you might be interested in or have some criticism or suggestions I'm all ears. If you're wondering what I'm cussing at in the video... F Tennessee! Gators can't beat them every year... Gotta let them win one every decade or so.
