I went with the Rob Allen tuna 90 cm. I moved to the ocean and am a complete noob. I load 1 band and can grow into using 2. I can’t be happier. Since day 1, plugging fish and grilling every night I want. Good luck everyone!
Great video! I live on Maui and its always been my dream to spearfish so I have been watching your videos nonstop. I got an old speargun (it just happened to be a 90cm!). You have given me the info get in the water safely and I am starting to bring home some fish! You have given such great advice, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, that is a rare quality. Mahalo nui loa!!
Double wrapped 75 with twin 16mm and a 6.5mm shaft you’ll get the speed and power of the 90 and same distance as a single wrapped 90 less length and more agile it’s the way to go give it a shot !
Hey Justin! Been spearfishing here on Oahu for about 2 years now but we recently got some guns. I love your videos and find them super useful! It’d be great if you could post a video talking about how to read the winds and surf around the island because I’m still having a hard time understanding how it all works together. Maybe even the geography around the island as well, I know it would be beyond helpful for me! Mahalo 🤙🏽
Hey man can you do a video about how to be respectful Visitor when you are new to the islands. I’m moving there because of the military I want to be respectful and not acting a fool.
Good on you man! For starters, never used the word 'undiscovered,' best alternative is 'the unbeaten path.' I think its the best way to respect the locals; those who are indigenous, born and raised and those that call Hawaii - home.
Just be respectful you don’t need a video to teach u good manners 😂How the hell do people functional and they need videos to learn how to do everything
@fishguy6487 manners are unique from locale to locale. If you've never traveled outside of somewhere that shares your same culture, you wouldn't know. Some things that are perfect manners in your culture may be rudely offensive to those in another culture. Knowing what is important to the locale you are visiting is very important when traveling...
Hi I live in Florida and I'm looking for a speargun not for giant fish it will be for small game fish like sheepshead and other small game fish what will you recommend
I started off with a 45cm speagun, short blast for caves and such. I also have lost gloves in the sea (I live in Greece), baloon and dolphin hooks. I plan on getting a Pathos 90cm. Although the only thing that makes me worried is breath and depth. Aloha!
How’s it bro. What’s a good all around speargun for a 6 ft guy. Been diving 3 prong for years just never tried a speargun. 0-50ft is my usual dept ,was thinking to buy one today or asap but figure do so research. 110cm ? Cressi Comanche is what I was thinking but idk.
it's not just about getting a speargun, you HAVE TO KNOW YOUR PREY AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS . Any fish you think you couldn't think you could get with your three prong, i've taken out with a 3 prong., GT(86 lb) kahala' ,uku, mu ,large uhu, kumu, moana kali.omilu etc. not bragging, just learn the characteristics of what you're try to spear.ask any kamaina spear fisherman.
Ernest Ocreto so that means that I can spear a 86 pound ulua with a three prong by learning it’s characteristics and how to attract it??? You have a much better chance of landing a bigger fish with a speargun than with a three prong.
Awesome video! I just bought a 95cm salvimar metal. Im not sure if i should get an 85cm gun instead. I spearfish near the shore around rocks/open water in the mediterranean sea
Hi Justin, I thank you for your information... And I might bit curios to the backsound music of your video from the start till the end. Yes, especially the end song... I wonder if you could help me to know what song that is... Thanks😁🙏
I sampled my cousins 90cm hammerhead after mostly using my dads 120cm beuchat and it was definitely more user friendly but like you said I needed to adjust my shot with the shorter gun. I was looking to buy a 90 but ended up getting a 100 cause had one good deal, it's a good medium. Would you suggest a 90 or 75 for more shallow dives being that I already get one 100? Thanks.
Behbeh Stafford cheap is a relative term. I havent had to get new bands for a long time. I probably spend $40 for a set of 9/16 bands. You can make your own but you need to know what youre doing. Your bands can last forever if you take care of them. My bands will last most of the year because you store them in a ziplock in the fridge. Fridge keeps them from getting brittle and breaking down.
I live in Japan, I want to get a speargun but I'm not sure if I should get a 75 or a 90. I only plan to swim off the beach and not far, basically around some structure off the beach where some grouper fish hang out. Plz advise. I'm looking at an omer invictus rex 75 or a voodoo open rail 85.. which do you think would suit my needs. I'm also not to tall, I'm only 5'6.
Hey! Nice video! My personal dilemma as a spearo for 3 years now, I have been using sporasun sk40 90cm, but I find it not so accurate, so I want to change it for c4 mr.carbon 2.0 but I can’t decide on the size 95 or 105 cm. I mainly fish 6-10m of depth near the coast for mullets bass grouper in holes, but I see often big amberjacks and leerfiah 5-40-50kg even more. What would you recommend?
Hey fish and dive Hawaii, I don’t live in Hawaii or near the ocean in fact in Utah.. we have a few good lakes water is not the greatest clarity but 15-25 ft vis. I’m thinking 90 cm but I am 15 and am a little worried about loading how hard is it to load??
I would do a rob Allen tuna for a first gun because of the simplicity and the ability to change the gun length by ordering a new barrel, spear shaft and bands so it can grow with you as you grow
Thanks for the vid. Not sure if this is cool or not so delete if necessary, if your In Oahu Nanko’s is a pretty knowledgeable place and can guide you through all their products. Helped me out. Mahalo bruh.
Nice helpful video, good information. I am an older guy who really does not like buying things twice. I have been doing some research separately from this new video of yours and I had come to a decision on which gun I thought would be best for me. This new video just reinforced my decision. I have never liked buying and then upgrading so my current choice is the Koah 90cm roller gun. Plenty of power for longer shots but can still shoot the holes/caves for menpachi etc by only loading the secondary kicker band. What do you think? Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Mahalo
This is how I feel exactly about a speargun but I’m on a budget so I don’t think I could buy a roller gun rn. Looking for a option for a all around budget speargun that is durable and accurate and dual band
yes you can get rubbers with less diameter and combine with loading techniques (it is 25% strength 75% technique) make sure the length of the bands is balanced between good power and ease to load for you or add more rubbers to level power.
What’s up man! Awesome video, I have a question. Currently I’m using a 90cm pneumatic gun( measured from the very back of the handle to the tip of the muzzle). I’ve caught many fish on it, but I find it awfully tedious and difficult to properly line up a shot due to the big round cylinder-like tube shape of the pneumatic guns. It seems to block my view of the fish. I’ve been thinking about getting a gun with rubbers as you can see the shaft, therefore making it easier put a shot where you want it. I was curious however; should I get a smaller rubber gun or one that’s the same size as my pneumatic gun? Is it logical to say that a smaller gun with rubbers would be weaker than a longer gun? P.S. I’m diving in and around shores and close reefs. Thanks a lot if you see this :)
Fish and Dive Hawaii thanks a bunch for noticing my comment and replying - if you don’t mind answering this question; do smaller guns have less punch due to the rubbers not being able to come as far back - or are the rubbers smaller and more punchy as you move down in size?
A little too much intro for me. About two minutes in till you start talking about what’s mentioned in the title. Other then that, great quality and good info.

Aloha, just want to say you made this video very clear to me and i thank you. hope i can get starter on my new spear fishing.
Love all the tutorials and fishing videos. Coming back to the island in April and looking forward to trying it myself. Thanks for sharing.
I use reel salvimar hero 95, two band in the UK. This is my first speargun and I never had urge for change
Hey man can you do a video about how to be respectful Visitor when you are new to the islands. I’m moving there because of the military I want to be respectful and not acting a fool.
Awesome man! I have a laws and regulations video that talks a little about ethics. But I'm thinking I should do a new one!
Good on you man! For starters, never used the word 'undiscovered,' best alternative is 'the unbeaten path.' I think its the best way to respect the locals; those who are indigenous, born and raised and those that call Hawaii - home.

Just do apnea training at home and practice holding your breath often.
Thank you man helped HUGELY! Stay safe man... shaka🤙
How’s it bro. What’s a good all around speargun for a 6 ft guy. Been diving 3 prong for years just never tried a speargun. 0-50ft is my usual dept ,was thinking to buy one today or asap but figure do so research.
110cm ? Cressi Comanche is what I was thinking but idk.
Perfect vid, I was about to get a speargun. Time to graduate from 3 prong lol, had enough of uhus swimming by
1 A lol I know same nuff killing koles and maninis

Ernest Ocreto awesome man. You sound like a champion out there. What exactly do you want me to ask a kama’aina spear fisherman?
Ernest Ocreto so that means that I can spear a 86 pound ulua with a three prong by learning it’s characteristics and how to attract it??? You have a much better chance of landing a bigger fish with a speargun than with a three prong.
What’s reel was that, with the pink line on the wood gun
Bro I just went from a hammerhead 100 to a 110 hatch and I got it for $180 from my friend never used I’m pumped to try it out
Awesome video! I just bought a 95cm salvimar metal. Im not sure if i should get an 85cm gun instead. I spearfish near the shore around rocks/open water in the mediterranean sea
Hi Justin, I thank you for your information... And I might bit curios to the backsound music of your video from the start till the end. Yes, especially the end song... I wonder if you could help me to know what song that is... Thanks😁🙏
How do you properly load a 3 band speargun.
I have a meandros argo bluewater.
And the bands keep tangling.?
you should make one video on how for set up your Kui on your weight belt. And how for run your float line etc
I sampled my cousins 90cm hammerhead after mostly using my dads 120cm beuchat and it was definitely more user friendly but like you said I needed to adjust my shot with the shorter gun.

Love my MAKO Guns!
Love the content bro.Big help for us newbies.new Sub.here from Beautiful island of Mactan Philippines.More Power to Your Channel
Were can we go to fix our slings and whatnot?
Behbeh Stafford if you on oahu almost any shop will make bands for you. Best if you bring your gun with you so they can see exactly what you need
@@kalekwon8362 never been to any shop but what's the cheapest
Behbeh Stafford cheap is a relative term. I havent had to get new bands for a long time. I probably spend $40 for a set of 9/16 bands. You can make your own but you need to know what youre doing.

The best guns in my opinion are aimrite and rob allen spearguns i really recommend these guns

What would be one good gun for kole and minbachi
The one your friends gave you look nice. Do you mind sharing the link to it I want to buy my father in law for his birthday
I didn't see you make a follow-up video on why you recommend pipe guns over wood guns. Can you summarize why you think that?
Mate what type of gun is that 120 from Okinawa?
Where do u usually go to spear diving?
Thanks brah, just starting out learning here on Oahu. Very helpful.
Thank you!
Tks For The Sharing
What would be better a hatch gremlin or the pathos lazer
I'd say laser for sure 🤙🏽
Good advice. Great lighting. Get the background sorted and you're there.
I say a 75 cm co they can learn how to stock and get close then get bigger that’s what I started with
what do you suggest to use as a first time ever spearfisher...a railgun or roller gun?
in australia 120cm is standard size in europe where Iive 90cm is standard size thanks 4 sharing : )
How far from a fish can you be with a 75 and 90 cm gun to shoot it.
How did you measure the length? Which parts are the beginning and end when you measure the lenght?
Thanks for the tips on spear guns man!! I’ve been wanting to get into it and been having trouble deciding where to start this helped quite a bit!
When do you usually hit the water?
New lighting setup looks good man👌
Hey man I was wonder do you know any spots to go off the beach in Oahu
How about best fins for spearfishing?
Hey fish and dive Hawaii, I don’t live in Hawaii or near the ocean in fact in Utah.. we have a few good lakes water is not the greatest clarity but 15-25 ft vis. I’m thinking 90 cm but I am 15 and am a little worried about loading how hard is it to load??
Hopefully the livestream helped! Beuchat Hero 75 cm sounds like the right choice!
When I shoot with my 3 prong I miss almost all the time do you know why I can’t aim?
Aiming for a Hammerhead Evolution 2. 90cm I reckon that will stay with me even if I later buy a 120 for bigger game.
I would do a rob Allen tuna for a first gun because of the simplicity and the ability to change the gun length by ordering a new barrel, spear shaft and bands so it can grow with you as you grow
Nice video, good information👍🏾

I have a 55cm speargun, it works just fine but I would definitely try a longer one. I chose the 55 because of transport.
@Dionysus Thanks for the tip, but i just bought a longer one like 3 weeks ago. It's an 82cm pathos speargun and i like it.
@Dionysus thx man
Thank you for sharing with us. Subscribed 🙂

Good day, I'm a woman with small shoulders :( I find it very hard to load a speargun. Is there a soft version of rubbers
yes you can get rubbers with less diameter and combine with loading techniques (it is 25% strength 75% technique) make sure the length of the bands is balanced between good power and ease to load for you or add more rubbers to level power.
90cm gun with one 18mm band or two 14mm bands? Btw thanks for the video man. Loved it.
2 bands always better. Gives you a variety of shots
Excellent video! See you soon!
What’s up man! Awesome video, I have a question. Currently I’m using a 90cm pneumatic gun( measured from the very back of the handle to the tip of the muzzle).

I've never tried pneumatic guns before, I've always used rubber. But that's what I would suggest 😁
Fish and Dive Hawaii thanks a bunch for noticing my comment and replying - if you don’t mind answering this question; do smaller guns have less punch due to the rubbers not being able to come as far back - or are the rubbers smaller and more punchy as you move down in size?
@@uoj4840 bands are dynamic and sized according to the gun so you wont lose power with smaller guns. But you will lose distance because of the size.
Fish and Dive Hawaii thankyou, you’re an actual legend. Love the channel.
How
Great video
thank u :D
Hi uncle, does your 90cm Pathos open pro have a safety on it?
Yes it does 🤙🏽
Hello thankyoup
Hey, bro. I am a new subscriber here. Do you have a spare speargun? Can i buy it? I am also a beginner diver
I think 90 is fine after you master the 3 prong
90 cm with 7mm shaft or 8mm shaft?
85cm for beginer is it good?
Man is 90 cm is good without roller ? For day dive just asking .
Aloha, all the Justin's I meet are cool bradas🤙Love the vids, great information. Aloha🤙
Haha. Thanks man! I appreciate it!
💯 accurate! Excellent advice for newbies!
Bang mesan berapa satu
A little too much intro for me. About two minutes in till you start talking about what’s mentioned in the title.
Other then that, great quality and good info.
How about 85cm pathos sniper?
You shouldn't have pointed out the halos in your eyes: that's all I see now when watching this video.
Bahasa indo ga bisa ya
35mm...
35cm 😎
I hope i have 1 speargun..
You can also shoot bigger fish with a small gun i shot a 17 kilo spanish mackerel with a 80 roller
THAT A TICKLER.
120 cm best for beginner!
What you think 110cm rail or 120cm deciding for my first one but I’m 6 ft tall
Give :(
give me sir please
Bru!!
Moo
I LIKE 105 MM TO START WITH
CAN YOU SHOOT THE POO-POO
1st
