Glad it helped Lee!

I've been crossing my float line in a figure 8 for a while now but the way you tied the off was good and I will be doing that from now on. Thanks mate great info as usual

This was actually really useful. I’ve recently started spearfishing and I’ve been doing this since I started. Thanks a lot!!

As usual a wealth of knowledge mr Mann 🤙🇦🇺🐟🧜🏻‍♀️

Amazing. I usually spend more time trying to untangle my rig line than fishing itself lol….you saved my life

Please keep these type of videos coming, I thought I had my gear dialed but this makes so much sense and is much better in the water. Thanks! My favorite channel on youtube.

I learn a lot from these videos. Thank you.

Great stuff. Another simple but super effective tip 👌

Life saver of a technique. Thanks!

Love the videos mate all these tips are so helpful. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work 👍✨.

Consistently blown away by your editing keep it up!

Many thanks again Daniel for a very useful video.👍

Thanks you bro 🙏 greetings from Indonesia 🤙🇮🇩

Very useful technique. Thanks DM!😀

Thanks Dan! This helped a ton!

wow that gun rigging that you showed here, is so useful, that so wise omg...how come i havent thought about it...thanks!

i started watching your channel for the cinematic level underwater footage. I find myself not even caring about rig lines, as I do not spear fish. That said i still enjoyed the video because you make it entertaining. Good job Daniel.

I freedive regularly but went spearfishing for the first time the other day. Many rookie errors were made haha including having a tangled mess of a rig. Saving this to watch again before my next mission!

Thanks Daniel , always struggled with my rig line , tend to do the second method but love the first one you shared with us

First method allows you to load up quicker. I’ve lost count of the time mackerel were under me and my rig line was wrapped around my gun at the start of a drift.

The most important video on KZread.

AHAHAHAHA that face @3:18 really convinced "SEEEEEEE!" brilliant Daniel!

Great information. Thank you

Rope management Lesson 1: Ask any climber how to coil the ropes! Petzl has a few well illustrated videos out there. For longer lengths you can do it over your neck, and you will not need to support the weight of the rope as you coil it with your hand. You are basically folding the rope over and over vs putting kinks on it as result of coiling. Great video for those not familiar with climbing techniques!

Dude your awesome, tons of good advice and tricks! Also your editing is A+. (I’m part time a videographer). Been watching your videos since I started spearing a few years back. Greatly improved my diving/spearing. If your ever out near the big island of Hawaii I would be stoked to dive with you!

Very well explained!

I use the criss cross method, but put three half hitches at both ends and leave about 2-3 metres of line to the gun so when I jump in the water I can shoot straight away should there be a pelagic close. This way if spearing near rocks in swell, I can adjust the length of the rig cord to whatever length I want to keep the float closer while I am in the water without needing to detach the gun or float to do so. Not all guns have a good holding point for the line to wrap in Daniel's second example. I can use the half hitch method to wrap my rig line before I get picked up by the boat without using the gun. Its then instantly ready to go next dive.

I'm not a spear fisher, but damn this is useful.

Great tip thanks

Hahaha this video could not be anymore relatable 😂 Thanks Daniel 👍
