i've been spearing for about a year now, have been successful with a jbl gun, i think the D7. two bands, a 6mm shaft. i like using a single flopper on a sharpened point. its worked well, but its not a very pretty gun. so i got an ab biller 32 sea hornet. it has to 9/16 bands, i think i 30" shaft. i love the wood, it looks great. it came with a rotating rock point tip with twin floppers.
finally got to go diving after a bad cold and being super busy. had a great dive in monterey, except i was a bit disapointed with the gun's performance. the jbl never had a problem going right though large lingcod shot in the head from 8'. the biller seemed to have trouble getting both floppers through a rockfish at 5'. the fish were so stunned that i was able to hold them onto the end of the spear and put them on the stringer. i just thought it odd that the spear didn't fully penetrate enough for the floppers to fall. i am already checking out getting the bigger 5/8 bands, and already planned to tone it down to a single flopper sharpened tip.
any info on ab biller 32 sea hornets and how they have performed for others would be great.
