Plugger / Corkscrew
Where'd you get the plugger / corkscrew (not sure what they are called) BJ ? Bloody not cheap having to go into bluewater and get them replaced.

Picasso
Not sure exactly what is was called but its a Picasso model, bought from Adventure Sports in KTA. Cost $20.
Paid for itself already.
Green cord is just that 'parachute' cord you can buy.
Not super fancy but works well.

Hmm if picasso do ones I'm
Hmm if picasso do ones I'm sure someone else does them for half the money too. Picasso neoprene glue is $40 instead of $12 and we all know its the same stuff!
PS: Those edge bridle inserts also look good and apparently last pretty well.

True
Thats true Till, but my options were somewhat limited in KTA when I was chasing one.
Certainly a gadget that makes the whole process much easier.

For sure, and you have one already, more a warning for anyone else chasing the same part.
Oh and edge inserts.

20 bucks for a picasso one
20 bucks for a picasso one is quite cheap. The rob allen 1's go for over 50.
Have been meaning to get 1 for years, as usually a bridle breaks out at sea and a 10 minute job turns into a hour long job

There called a tee bar
There called a tee bar applicator guys,they can be made easy enoughout of a peice of 8 mm tube... for tieing your bridles i would use something with a bit more bite, there is a special blue clinch cord, i think its about 1.50 per meter its easy to use and lasts along time.
changing out your bridles can be done with a pair of pliers all u need to do is force the bulb in and your home and hosed.. if you chech out www.spearifhsing.com there is a proper clintch knot that i use.. i spear a fair bit and i have never had this not fail..

Double
Cheers Plastic Freak.
I just double wrap the parachute cord and tie off with a reef knot. Works well for me.

Must be a dbase
Must be a dbase glitch?
Anywhere, probably much the same as this pic:

The only thing I would add is that, I have since stopped even using the metal bead and just use a double overhand in the braid loop. It takes a few goes to get it to bunch up nicely, but it seems to work fine.

Tee bar or wishbone
Tee bar or wishbone applicator
i got 2 or 3 spare if anyone needs one
bought 6 when i was in SA handed out some to mates
its really worth it if u not gonna use a gun for 3 months or so to take out the wishbone IMHO as they always perish right there on the constriction
i take out wishbone and store rubbers in vacu pack format in the fridge - amazing how long rubber lasts
