Spearguns 101

[@tetraskele9621]

A great overview; to then point. I've been out of spearfishing since the 1980s (caveman days), so all of this new "tech" and the arguments for fiber and cuttlefish grips (etc) needed to be sorted out (made comprehensible). Thanks! Good job.

this is the 3rd or both video of yours I have watched. I love your style. Fast and direct and lots of good information. That you for putting these together

[@donaldoutdoors]

Thank you for this - I've learned a lot and have been able to narrow down what I want. Thank you again!

Very awesome lineup review of popular spearguns. I'm interested in the Roller Sniper. It has a lot in its favor for sure. Wouldn't the Pathos Laser Roller be the better gun since it's carbon??

[@DivingSports]

I wouldn't say that it being carbon automatically makes it better, they're just different styles of guns. The Roller sniper has a full cuttlefish barrel whereas the Laser Roller only has the ballast at rear end of the barrel. I would think about if you want an enclosed track vs open track, aluminum vs carbon, and full cuttlefish vs "half cuttlefish" lets call it.

@@DivingSports - excellent advice. Since accuracy is so important and I’m new to the sport the Sniper Roller 105 will become my gun. Thanks for validating the differences.

[@DivingSports]

@@donovanstockton7081 Just keep in mind with that gun, once you bend the shaft you'll have to get a brand new one, as a bent shaft won't go back into the enclosed track. If you're hunting smaller fish I wouldn't be too worried but its always a possibility. Also do your best not to shoot rocks haha, as rollers are typically more powerful than a double band gun of the same length, and you're more likely to damage your shaft.

[@donovanstockton7081]

@@DivingSports - yeah it seems there’s no single speargun that does it all. And I read to being some extra shafts for that reason. It’s like everything in life: Making Tradeoffs. Keep up your videos, I really like your series. You explain things so well; it must take a lot of effort to produce such good content.

thanks idol for infos

[@koldman]

how is a lighter carbon barrell going to absorb more recoil than a heavier aluminium barrell?

[@DivingSports]

Hey you're totally right! TBH I've learnt a lot since making this video, and I would say that yes generally carbon won't absorb recoil so much as it will add barrel stiffness which is helpful for preventing barrel flex, and it's also a lighter material that can have its benefits depending on the gun. I don't think there's too much of a benefit to using carbon at shorter lengths as you don't really risk barrel flex due to heavy band loads.

[@koldman]

@@DivingSports exactly what i was thinking, thanks for the reply!

[@sparcousa]

Only downside I find with the Pathos Sniper Roller it can’t fit a 7.5mm shaft and above.

[@DivingSports]

Yea you'll definitely need a different gun if you want to run a bigger shaft

[@OmniAtlantic]

I WILL HAPPILY TAKE any Pathos roller personally. Since I only dream about such a gun. My general income limits me . Yet my little 800mm roller works fine made from bits and pieces. I have a Mares californian 1000 pneumatic gun this gun can shoot bigger fish at 12 to 18 bars that gun kill the yellowtail.

[@dirty_diver]

what about the new pathos laser roller with a kicker?
