]]> Victor Abellan - Mero - Spain tag:forums.xtremespearfishing.com,2008:/viewthread/.244 2008-09-19T13:58:54Z The XTREME Team Victor Abellan shoots a Mero (Grouper) at 27 meters (89ft) but the fight doesn’t stop there.  He has returns several times for a battle with the holed up monster at 28m (92ft).  But the 20kg (44lb) Mero is well worth it!  Victor is using one of his own custom made guns which are very bulky, but very precise. You will see him using them throughout all of his videos on this site.

]]> Victor Abellan - Dorada - Spain tag:forums.xtremespearfishing.com,2008:/viewthread/.243 2008-09-19T13:55:43Z The XTREME Team Victor Abellan taking a Dentis (Italy) or Dorada (Spain) at 25m (82ft) of the Islands of Spain.  You will see that he is fishing “a la espera” which is a technique of staying motionless on the bottom and waiting for fish to come to him.  You may also notice that he is wearing an additional weight vest with extra weight to assist in keeping him immobile on the seafloor.  Especially since he is wearing such a thick cold water suite.

]]> OMER - Dyneema tag:forums.xtremespearfishing.com,2008:/viewthread/.237 2008-09-15T13:54:12Z The XTREME Team OMER has put together quite a few videos that we felt were worth sharing here.  They are all filed under instructional and even though they are specific to OMER products, they do give you some insight into some of the products / options available today and their proper usage.

This video demonstrates the strength and versatility of Dyneema braided lines.  We believe that Dyneema is the best line available and you will notice that we use it to tie bands, on reels, as wishbones, in bungies, etc.  You may have heard of Spectra line instead of Dyneema, but they are in fact the same line.  Spectra is Honeywell’s branded version of the DSM’s original Dyneema.  Here is a full definition for your reference:

Dyneema is a superstrong polyethylene fiber produced using a patented gel spinning process. This remarkable fiber is up to 15 times stronger than steel and, weight-for-weight, is 40% stronger than competing aramid fibers. It has high energy absorption, is extremely durable and resistant to moisture, UV light and chemicals. In the United States, DSM (inventor of Dyneema) has granted a license to Honeywell. The Honeywell product is sold under the brand name Spectra.

]]> OMER - Fin Holder tag:forums.xtremespearfishing.com,2008:/viewthread/.239 2008-09-15T14:30:48Z The XTREME Team OMER has put together quite a few videos that we felt were worth sharing here.  They are all filed under instructional and even though they are specific to OMER products, they do give you some insight into some of the products / options available today and their proper usage.

This video demonstrates a simple device known as a fin keeper.  These are such a simple idea and are very important for deeper freediving.  A fin keeper simply slides over your foot and then the heal of your fin to keep them securely locked in place.  What would happen if you were kicking for the surface for a much needed breath and your fin popped off??

]]> OMER - Mono Crimping tag:forums.xtremespearfishing.com,2008:/viewthread/.238 2008-09-15T14:01:52Z The XTREME Team OMER has put together quite a few videos that we felt were worth sharing here.  They are all filed under instructional and even though they are specific to OMER products, they do give you some insight into some of the products / options available today and their proper usage.

This particular video is a great demonstration of how to properly perform mono crimps for your shooting line.  Make note of the great tip of heating the end of the mono after it has been passed through the sleeve.  This creates a small bulb at the end of the mono which prevents the mono line from slipping back through the sleeve before you crimp it.
