Are roller spearguns better?

Essentially, the roller speargun gets its extra power from the longer band pull, instead of more bands. Likewise, the pre-tensioned rubbers underneath allow for more power and strength, resulting in more speed and momentum.

What is a rail speargun?

Railguns are a rubber-loaded style of speargun characterised by the rail or track that extends along the top of the gun barrel. This rail supports the shaft when loaded and guides it as it’s fired. Due to their reliable and simple design, railguns are the go-to speargun style for most spearos.

What is a roller gun spearfishing?

Roller Spearguns utilise a modified muzzle that modifies power-band loading to give you more power from shorter barrels. This is achieved by placing the power-bands under constant load as the shaft is shot, which is created by anchoring the rubbers on the underside of the barrel.

Are carbon spearguns better?

Assuming it has thick walls, carbon fiber is much stronger than aluminum. If you drop something on it, it won’t break or dent. Aluminum eventually corrodes, but carbon fiber never will.

Do you aim above or below a fish?

You always want to aim below the fish because the refraction of light makes the fish appear closer to the surface than they are. The distance that you aim depends on how far away you are from the fish, and how deep the fish is in the water.

What is an inverted roller gun?

The inverted roller provides you with more power, increased accuracy and more importantly, no recoil on the gun which is great for that perfect shot. The head set up on the Inverted Roller Speargun is a Woomera Invert Roller Head in which there are rollers at the top of the speargun.

Why does a wood speargun?

Wooden-banded spearguns were introduced because of their buoyancy and fabrication was easier with more common woodworking equipment found in garages. Made of dense woods like teak or mahogany, they were initially lighter underwater then metal guns.
