Hah. I never even really noticed the pink snorkel.
Doc isn't one to fret over style or appearances.
He makes his own guns. Kind of rough cut teak wood he gets. Uses a bent piece of steel as a shaft guide on top of the tip. Notched shafts. I got him a Rob Allen reel last Christmas. He mentioned that after getting dragged over the reef by the aj. He said, "shit....I forgot to bring it".
He uses a stiff ss wire and makes a loop that he ties a soft nylon shooting line through (tied, not crimped), meaning he has to untie the line to disconnect his shooting line from the gun. My next technological challenge is to get him to use a pigtail swivel and mono shooting line.
Honestly, he's been making his guns for so long, he's not even aware of what's out there tech wise. His nephew was the Riffe dealer here in Belize and GAVE Doc an Islander mid handle. He's never used it. haha. Prefers his own. He won't even consider shooting my Wong 55. Classic fellow. He knows how to hunt fish though.
