The dilemma of spearguns

Updated: Dec 21, 2021

Today there are many spearguns of different models, sizes, materials, shapes etc. But how do you know which one best suits your style of fishing? It is very important to point out that the mobility and precision of the speargun is what all the passionate fishermen of spearfishing are looking for the most. For this reason, the combination of the mass of the speargun, the thickness of the rubber bands and the thickness of the shaft must be taken into account. The more power you put to the rifle, the greater the thickness of the shaft has to be, thus increasing the accuracy of the shot. I am going to explain above different combinations for different types of spearguns: tube spearguns and spearguns measuring 95cm / 100cm, double rubber and roller, as these are the most popular or commonly used among fishermen. Tube rifles, since they are thin, it is better to put 16mm rubber bands and 6.5mm rod. It is advisable to put a reel of reduced dimensions, that is, 30 or 40 meters of 1.5mm dynema, so the rifle at the time of movement drags less water or generates less friction and therefore facilitates movement The most popular spearguns with those that are 95 cm or 100 cm in size. Putting mono rubber bands on it, we get a versatile fishing being able to catch pieces of between 1kg to 20 kg, as long as the fish is close enough and that the rod has a good tip since we gain much more penetration in case we come across a larger fish. Double rubber or roller spearguns are for a more selective fishing for large pieces, these spearguns are used a lot in fishing waiting for Detón and other high-altitude pieces. These rifles are usually mounted with a 16mm double rubber and a 7.5mm or 8mm rod to gain distance and have a very powerful and precise long shot. In the case of rollers, they are usually mounted with 16mm mono rubber or on 14mm rubber if it is with a double pulley. Rod 7.5mm or 8mm and the reels should be with enough capacity. In general, you have to be very sure of what you are looking for to have the most comfortable fishing possible.
