Does anyone use pole spears or do they mostly use spear guns in the Philippines?

Great place

if you are looking for spearfishing buds. U might want to add spearfishing philippines in your FB.
Also bring spare rubber for your pole spear. You cant source good 1 here in the php

Ok great i'll check it out. I plan on sending spare parts already i know how hard it is to get things there. Wish i could get my spear gun there but it is harder to bring it with me. If it makes it there if you know what i mean. Heard to many bad stories about stuff not making it there. Were are you located?

 

[glockerjax]

Im manila based. Yes those stories are unfortunately true. sad..

What kind of gun do you have? We have local dealers of riffe and hammerhead.

I have a Riffe 120x euro and a HammerHead Evolution2 90.

Good guns. The 120 is perfect for Philippine waters

I would love to bring it but don't want to take the chance.

Its ok to bring it here. As long as its packed properly.. Some friends use sportube and the likes. No questions asked at the airport so far..

I wonder how much they will charge for a long piece of gear?

 

[glockerjax]

Call your airline and inquire re sport-mans luggage it must be cheaper

And also.. Don't label luggage as "fragile speargun".. Put "fragile fishing equipment" instead..
