Normally when you buy a new speargun shaft the flopper is already installed on the bottom of the shaft but from as long as I can remember I always shot my spearguns with a flopper on the top. It's just preference and what I'm used to I guess. I feel like I land more fish this way. Every time I buy a new shaft I always flip the flopper and this is...

The Giant Trevally, also known as Ulua in Hawai'i, is the king of the reef. One of the fiercest predators and the most prized sought after fish by both fisherman and spear fisherman.
