Spear gun advice please.

JBLs are solid, bullet proofly durable guns, "relatively" inexpensive, but loud if you use a line. There are much better, quieter, more accurate guns out there, for lots more $. Personally I prefer a sling, but it takes a lot of practice to maintain accuracy. Much better for freediving in 50 ft or less because of the lower drag. For hookah use in S Florida, you don't need a big gun for the size of fish you will shoot, but a bigger gun gives much greater range. Get something that can shoot a 5 ft shaft, around a 100 cm gun, and shoot it free shaft, no line. For your use, as I understand it, a JBL of the right size would be a good choice. You will quickly get used to slipping your arm through the rubber bands while chasing a fish after a shoot. The gun is then secure and behind you, out of the way.

Rob Allens are good guns.
