Default Re: Spear gun advice please.

I understand that Mahogany is preferred because of neutral buoyancy and sound deadening. Correct me if you sea any errors in my thinking.

Two bands are better than one?

JBL make a good product?

Sandy,
I've got a JBL mahogany gun and it's nice. 36" spear and three bands. Very simple mechanism and good safety. I've killed a few grouper with it. Only thing I would do different is go to the next bigger size.

One thing about the neutral bouyancy; it's nice when swimming around on the hunt, but once you fire it, the gun wants to float. Not a problem, just something to be aware of.
