- It's easy to forget what it was like to first start out spearfishing and you can take seemingly simple things for common knowledge. In this video we look at the most basic spearfishing rig which is good enough to start your journey all the way through to massive fish, yes even black marlin have been landed on this simple rig. Where do you store your fish when you're in the water? I also go through two methods of holding on to your catch, each with pros and cons. I hope you got something out of this video - if you did, please hit that subscribe button 🙌

HE POSTED!!!!
Thank you for the info on fine tuning the rigging. Just got my first floatline and float and it's such a good system to use. 👌👌👌
Yes dude, another great video, keep up the great work 👍
This channel inspired me a lot to be a professional spearfisher someday. Though, I'm jealous seeing you guys here in spearfishing world wearing or having complete spearfishing accessories but still thanks to you sir Daniel about all your life-time lessons about spearfishing.
Dan so awesome to see you posting again. Life must be crazy for you right now. I love all your stuff and can't wait to see you back in the water. Your videos are by far the best videos about spearfishing out there. Thanks for taking the time to edit your video and audio. Top-notch video's as usual.
Cheers Ben! It’s been a hectic start to the year but the dives should start soon.
Great tips. Have to say I started out with setup 1 but had shark issues. I went out and got a Wettie Float Boat, worth every cent. Quick to rig up, keeps fish out of the water and if I’m tired I can hold onto it.
Wonderful video! Keep making great content bro!
Great video! Straight to the point delivering tons of knowledge. Subscribed!
Nice, informative video Dan! For those interested in the speed stringer with the "flopper stopper" in the U.K, then Spearfishing U.K. sells them
Finally a video ! Awesome man ! Your videos are awesome !
Thanks a ton!
You got me into spear fishing 😄
Solid! Cheers 🍻 Danny boy!
This is an absolutely perfect video. Thank you
thank you so much for the information! love your vids and all the knowledge you share. thanks for helping to keep a rookie like me out of tangled float lines :) (I was tying my float line to my dive belt b4 watching this video)
Awesome information Dan, cheers for the upload mate 👍
Daniel always does the best videos especially when you’re new to the sport for informational good to know videos. Too video Dan
Cheers Jake!
i am getting ready for my first spearfishing session, ill be guided by expirienced family and friends members but i allways seek information for myself everytime i do something , cause i like to have a general idea of what i am doing beforehand to be easy for everyone, ty for the video !
Great Video Daniel. Cant be more simple
Great vid, thanks for sharing!
Good stuff... , well filmed and informative video. Thumbs up!
Good tips! thanks.
Love the idea of the speed spike not seen that before , cheers
Daniel the main man mann🤙
Damn, I think I never saw such a straight to the point video. Great stuff
Excellent video. I've been freediving/spearfishing since 1983 and I still use a float line and float. Also much quicker to reload than a reel gun setup. For bluewater hunting I use a breakaway system.
Definitely quicker if a large fish has taken line out of the reel. I tend to use whichever setup is best suited for the style of diving I'm doing.
The clear and simple instructions I was looking for… for months ! Thanks !!!
You're welcome!
Great vid as always :)
Cant wait for the spearfishing season to start up again! Think i might get myself a polosub so i can enjoy the arctic waters even better. Keep up the great work dude!
You and me both!
This was my rigging for the past 25 years (T-Bar on the float, not the Speed Spike). Then , about a month ago, I bought a new roller gun at RabiTech in Cape Town. Louis suggested to remove clip from the gun and attach it to the float-line rather than the gun. Just put a Loop of Dacron on each gun. This way you not only save on clips, but your float can now attach to any other float line in a flash. Also allows my Reel Guns to not have this long metal clip dangling under it when I disconnect the float in the seaweed/bamboo.
Makes a lot of sense and now all my guns have a loop on the grip and the clip is on my float line. It also allows to clip the float on my drop weights....
Thanks man. You made simple a few confusing things. Concise and to the point, very helpful video.
Cheers Jamie!
Thanks Dan!
Excellent advice from a seasoned pro😊👍
Thanks for this very useful video of yours sir...
Enjoyed as always, im learning so much everytime i watch your videos. even some stuff i know i won't use but its good to know.
you got me really curious about the rope splicing, never understood how to make it. sounds quite crucial....i'll check into it.
thanks!
Thanks Asaf, splicing is a great technique to learn for life.
Thanks a lot bro 👍👍
very good! Daniel.
I got some new snorkel gear for next summer and now I find out that Lake Michigan and Lake Huron have opened up walleye for spearfishing.😁
Now it's time to get some spearfishing gear, so here I am trolling for good gear videos!
Safety first! Great message
Awesome video! I tried spearfishing for the first time in the Mediterranean this summer with a cheap plastic speargun from a local tourist shop.
Would love to see a video on how to choose a good (transportable) spear gun as a beginner without breaking the bank. So what to look out for etc :)
Loving the studio feel bro! More new content! 🙏❤️
Cheers Airan!
Whoa. What a great piece of advice.
Thanks Vince!
I would love another video on float boat! Like the Wettie, Ocean Hunter, and the Beucaut !
Nice one manny
I haven't dove in a long time. We used to have something like a 3/16tgs of an inch, or ¼" safety pin looking thing. It clipped on your belt, and you would open it similar to a safety pin, slide the fish on gills first, and clip it back. We had great white where I dove, and elephant Seals, so would have a boogey board with rigging for line to dive down and tie to a rock, and a place to hook a stringer, or a goody bag, good for abalone. I later got a float that is a sewn cover for a smallish tire inner tube. Unzip it for lots of room, CO fusing to a predator.
Nice episode. Very informative
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great informative video from the Mann.
I use a T-string around my waist, my float isn't attached to me but I tend not to wander off too far from it, a friend suggested I attach it to my waist using soft bungee elastic, I still haven't tried the floatline to speargun connection, I'm guessing it will tangle too much...
Thanks for posting!
Great video Daniel.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great!!!! Shout out from Panama bro!!! 🇵🇦
Appreciate it!!
Love it, love the props the most though
Didn't think my studio would appreciate a fish dripping on the floor...
i dont even need to watch this but I just love the manns vids
Awesome video
Show demais parabéns!!!
Another great lesson in safe spearfishing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to more video's from you
More to come!
@@DanielMann can you teach how to hold breath for so long especially in cold water? I SUCK at holding breath more than 20 seconds when swimming underwater
I’ve got a video called why you can’t hold your breath longer when spearfishing.
Got another question for you on wetsuits. What is easier to put on a closed cell or open cell. And what mm to use in tropical water. I ask because I'm a short big guy and need a custom wetsuit made. Thank again for your time.
Good grief Dan100% great advice once again. If I may value add I'd suggest a solid or robust plastic float over an inflatable for beginners. Well done Dan, I feel weird now 😜
Thanks
Would love a what’s in my dive bag 2022 !
Hey mate love your videos
Cheers Charlton!
Adotto lo stesso sistema quando pesco.
Ciao Daniel.
Enjoy watching here bro ❤
Thanks for the visit
How do you keep your floatline from going to your fins and making you slow down or even getting tangled? When you duck dive for example
Sir ive learn evreything about spearfishing from your vids.. thanks a lot it helps to us from philipines spearos.. love your suits also hope do you have extra suit or damage suit so i can asked for it😅🤙🤙
Interesting video 👍👍👌
Im a new spearo. Been running some float rope with my buoy on one end, then a U-bolt on the other end. And my catch bag clips on underneath my buoy. I like it because i can easily hitch the bolt under my weight belt when i swim to the next reef, then i simply drop it like a little anchor. The fish are safe and secure in the catch bag. Plus its hi vis yellow and i can find it. Maybe i need another line for the gun incase the kings swim by lol.
monofilament stringer sounds good. Thats all i could think about with using a stringer in the gulf of mexico. Bull sharks, hammerheads, tigersharks, definitely not something I would want a strong connection to hahaha
Little advice, sometimes tiny things matter A LOT.
If you use fishstringer, PLEASE put a swiwel at the start of it where you connect the entire stringer to a buoy.
Why do you need swiwel?
- fish on the stringer tend to rotate the line along its axis either by hydronamic forces when swimming or half alive fish that still tries to swim.
First thing it makes it harder to put fish on stringer later as it gets messier and mdore crumped or the mono can literally break due to forces.
We have seen on so many ocasions when the letter happens... and it wasnt a mooray eel death spiral, just sheer hydronamic spiraling of bunch of fish.
Swiwel just makes it supear neat in long run.
Never heard/seen a speed spike! Being a shore diver I can see the benefits. Still working on adjusting the length of my float line (which doesn't really float) as it sometimes gets caught around rocks, gotta be mindful of that!
Glad you got something out of the video!
Very fast delivery from the US. And will test tomorrow with Daiwa Sweepfire 2500 reel and 20lbs mono line
Hi Daniel, your videos are very inspiring and I think spear fishing will be my future hobby... I've looked at many spear fishing guns and seems like almost nobody uses pneumatic guns... can you make a video about that? What are the reasons that you would not use pneumatic gun??
Thanks.
I would love to see a video on how to rinse your gear
Another awesome video, very informative and educational. I had a similar set up for almost 6 years diving around Sydney. The only problem is massive stingrays sussed out and stole my fish. I started with the speed spike but ended up using a catch bag.
I think seals are a similar problem. Catch bags are just so heavy to drag around though. Better than no fish I guess!
@@DanielMann Totally agreed.
Do u recommend the stringer for Queensland Australia because of the sharks
If loading a single band on a double band speargun ,which one do you load?
nice
I exclusively do beach shore dives, I've been using speed stick and I've noticed it does get pretty heavy on a big day, or with a kingy. I'll try the stringer next
I would use a combination of both. Speed spike when you’re in the thick of the fish and then move the fish to the stringer on the swim in.
@DanielMann yeah good call. I'll make one tomorrow and give a crack on the weekend
thoughts on the sens07 recovery vest? why aren't these more commonly spoken about? seems like a revolutionary product for a relatively small price
How did you get over the fear of sharks? I'm from Brisbane, but have just moved down to Sydney and am currently starting my journey into spearfishing. I haven't dived around Brissy in years and only ever encountered Bull sharks while kayak fishing. It's always been a bit of a fear of mine and I'm just not sure why!
Currently south of Perth for the next couple of months for work and brought my mask and fins for when I get some time to go for a bit of a look around. Still though, because it's been so long, I just can't help hesitate when getting in the water.
We use float boats in NZ, great in sharky areas.
I've seen those a lot. Do the fish spoil on long swims? Here it's common for me to be in the drink for 4hours and if it was baking on top in the sun they would be going off for sure.
@@DanielMann Yea 4 hours would definitely be too long out of water. You can put ice into some float boats but it gets heavy quick. Still better to have a shorter dive with a float boat than having your dive ruined by sharks.
Whats about putting the fish in a float (assuming its designed for it) or catch bag ?
I don't like catch bags that much for fish. Limiting on the size and number of fish and also very heavy to drag along.
Are there any tips for using a float in an area with a lot of kelp/seaweed? Mine keeps getting caught and it's hard to keep pulling and untangling it.
I would probably use a drop weight to anchor my float and then use a reel gun. However to use a float you can make it easier by gathering it up in a coil on the surface before you dive. The float stays right next to you and then when you dive the rope follows you down, much less drag.
Do you have a drop anchor for the float?
I use a drop weight in a lot of situations but for beginners it can be overly complicated.
hey Daniel, what program are you using to edit the videos please? it's awesome!
I use Adobe premiere pro and after effects for certain things too.
👍👍
is that a bottle of drink attached to the float in the video? thanks
Yes
Does anyone know the reason for using shark clips and not cheap carabiners?
Thanks
Carabiners are typically aluminium and will corrode in water. More to that the shark clip can be operated single handedly with gloves very easily. They are also designed with swivels and for the marine environment.
I've just got enough kit to go spearfishing, but the sea is 9.4 degrees in March. When is a good time to get out into the sea? I really want to try out my new kit.
March 😎
Question can you make a video of how you pack everything for travel?
Sure can!
@@DanielMann 💙
If only you made this video 2 years ago I wouldn't have lost 2 spearguns 😂
Now there’s an idea for your next video 😂 How did that happen?
opinion on a floatline bungee?
For 99% of spearfishing not really necessary.
Hello from St.Petersburg
👋
perfect! quick, simple and actionable for the new spearo. : )
Cheers Christopher!
Do you double or single wrap your shooting line?
Most of the time single wrap.
Where do you buy that polypropylene float line , I can’t seem to find it?
Rob Allen rope is the next best thing 👌
@@DanielMann the rob allen rope is not the same as yours? Haha it looks similar.
What grappling anchor do you use for your float
I use a drop weight from Oneshot Greece.
Thanks 🙏🏻👍🏻
I use a dark laundry mesh bag, Carry my gear and fish(Lobster,etc)later
Thanks for this video. Simple and effective setup.
Hi! I want to get into spearfishing but the water in my area is very murky, around 30cm - 1m visibility. Is it possible to soearfish in this kind of water?
This but it is difficult and you need a very short speargun.
Would a 27 speargun work?
Does keeping the fish in the water on a stringer unnecessarily bring sharks in to inspect? I live on the pacific coast of California.
Fish struggling and vibrating sounds will attract sharks more so than fish on a stringer in my experience.
Thank you!
Hey Daniel, im new to spearfishing and a bit unsure wether to attach my speargun only to my float or to attach my float to me and then my speargun to me aswell. If you have time to answer, ill appreciate it alot!
(no reel)
Never attach anything to you! Keep it all like on this video and you’ll be safe and ready to tackle almost any fish.
@@DanielMann Thanks for the answer! Love your videos!
@@DanielMann In Norway it's normal practice to attach yourself to the float. Lots of reasons for this, one of them being, you can drop your belt and pull it back up by the floatline. But we do have a quick release on the belt so we can unhook it pretty fast. Shooting big prey like halibut, your setup is preferred, so you dont get pulled after the fish. th-cam.com/video/wRHuZHmJM3A/w-d-xo.html
Let me know when you’re in italy🤣😅
link to the floatline ?
Rob Allen make one that’s good 👍
