NSP:242 Game Changing Spear Gear with Old Man Blue | Bert Keulder

Noob Spearo Podcast | Spearfishing Tips, Stories and Interviews

Interview with Bert Keulder from Old Man Blue

Todays interview is with Bert Keulder from Old Man Blue and we chat all about the new gear he's made! Old Man Blue is well known for making rugged, tough, extremely well designed and properly engineered dive gear for spearfishing and crayfish/lobster diving. First he brought out his famous SeaSac catch bag, now he has released the soon to be famous Orca Harness weight vest and Heavy Duty Floatline. The Orca Harness is a weight vest designed to make you not know you're wearing it, protect your lower back from strain and make you much more maneuverable in the water. The Heavy Duty Floatline is exactly that: a floatline for hunting and fighting huge fish like Dogtooth Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, Wahoo, Marlin, etc! A bunch of other gear as well as funny stories from Bert's diving days.
