Plat

In New Zealand we have a large variation of fish sizes and find it to be quite arduous to tow the fish behind as this causes a lot of drag. Although there are some production models but due to the cost most divers build their own from plywood, fiberglass or sometimes even modify the end of a kayak. The other main reason for these plats is the increase in shark sightings and attacks on the fish on the floatline. The perfect plat is not the easiest thing to design. It must be easy to tow, must not sit to high out of the water and catch to much wind. It wants to be long enough to carry the likes of a kingfish. Another problem to overcome is centering the weight. However there are plenty of benefits too. Some have different compartments so that drinks and food or spare parts for the speargun can be stored.
