Thread: Spear Guns

I just bought a used Mares one. Will pick it up later.

So long as it's doesnt look like this old girl I think it will be fine

Yeah Wettie kit is pretty bulletproof.
I've a Wettie handle and mech on a Omer barrel - run thicker rubbers and love the Rob Allen shafts.
People rave on about the gun and size, and sure decent kit withstands a bit more beating - but I reckon its down to the weight of the shaft.
Mate lost a kingi the other night on a 90cm roller gun - the thing would out do a 130 I reckon - but he was shooting light shaft!

Pretty seldom that shaft size is the culprit for fish being lost IMO. Shot placement particularly on kingies is crucial, and how you play them.

Was a gift from the grumpy old bloke next door, he's gruff and short of a word . Gave him and his lady a feed of cams flounder , some cod and other bits of tucker.

He hobbled out one morning when I was working with the hound, had a few gruff words to say about the dog and then said here you might get some use out of this. Turned on his heel and was gone.... I treasure that old speargun more than I can tell ya .

Or a slow computer that keeps freezing up.

What sort of pointy bit should I go for? Everything else is there.

As above I know nothing but what I have been reading suggests useing original as they are tested and tuned to shoot and when you change things it can go pearshaped accuraccy wise.

Get a Rob Allen spear - Spears Rob Allen 6.6mm
You'll just want to confirm that you have a Euro mech gun - some of the older guns on TM are US mech and need a different notch in them, harder to get the shafts for them.
Take your gun barrel length and add 40cm - thats about the size shaft you want, slightly less is ok, but no longer.
