What is better a single or dual band on a cressi apache 90cm.

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Hello, sorry failed the first time but i am interested in the Apache 90cm. I need to know is a dual band worth the purchase
 
Twin bands are easier to load but take twice as long, power may be up a little with twins but accuracy won't be.
No clear answer, it depends what you intend to shoot but generally speaking a single band is a good match for a 90.
 
In general I would say stick with one until experience tells you otherwise. But it depends on where you are spearing (it would be help us if you included the approximate location/country that you expect to spear in in your profile) and what you fishing for and your own strength & loading technique. I see that you are 14, 14 year olds come in all shapes & sizes these days - but if you anticipate loading difficulties a thinner band might be worth considering or two thin bands (e.g. 2x14mm - roughly the same power as a 20mm band we estimate). But I think the Comanche was primarily designed as a single band gun, so would go with the factory configuration to start with.

BTW If you buy a second band & decide not to use it immediately, you can store it in a sealed plastic bag in the deep freeze to preserve it as a spare.
 
Hello,
I live in Washington, United States. I am about six to and have will probably have no issue loading the speargun. I will probably be fishing for lingcod and flounders.
Thanks for all the help guys
