-Same trigger mech as their tuna guns
-Lifetime warranty
-shoots a sharkfin type shaft
-cost less than a similar sized RA
-I got the cool "acid washed" pattern on the barrel (if I scratched it on a reef, it wouldn't show)
I've been very happy with it.

I also prefer the line to be attached to the fin. The only gripe i have is that when you're shooting schooling fish, the removal of those spears are a NIGHTMARE!!!! What i normally do is shoot a fish, then pass the gun to the boat boy and then grab another gun. Where-as with a normal spear, with the line attached to the rear, i can QUICKLY remove the spear, throw fish into the boat AND reload, hopefully getting a second chance at the same school!!The shark fins are preferable to these slots in the shaft, and they permit the shooting line to be attached on a shark fin rather than a hole in the rear end of the shaft where it gets stuck back into the mechanism.

It could be that Miles can actually get so close to the fish where his shaft goes through the fish entirely (lining the fish), and he has to pull the shaft out backwards. Unfortunately, you and I haven't had that problem.
So if that were the case, I can see how difficult that would be with sharkfins. What I do in that situation is detach the shooting line from the reel or float line and pull the shaft and shooting line through the fish.
