Q: Roller speargun recommendation for UK waters & fish?

[Spearito]

I use double wrap in the med.
I’m probably gonna be crucified for this but, I find that double wrap with Dyneema works better than mono.

Bring on the nails and hammer boys

Good to hear. I would have expected Dyneema to tangle more than mono. Any secret to your success?

 

[Mr. X]

I shoot with three wraps on my pathos 115. And that’s the gun I shoot 28 ft not to pathos 85.

Yes, I guess that would total about 28ft (8x115 + 40cm overhang = 960cm = 378" so I make that v. roughly 31.5' including the spear itself) but is it useable at full range (considering accuracy, drag, power loss, gravity/parabola, etc)?

I use 3 wraps of 2mm spectra on my 100cm rollergun 2 wraps on my 80cm roller and 2 wraps of 1mm dyneema on my 55cm roller cavegun. I found the dyneema more inclined to tangle than the spectra but if you treat it with hot wax it stiffens up and works well. I got the idea from kite flyers who wax their lines to avoid tangles. The 1mm dyneema is almost as strong as 2mm spectra but with less drag. It is about twice the price of spectra. The heavier spectra is a bit easier to grip when fighting larger fish.
