Chris thanks for sacrificing your chest for this video Can you explain why a traditional shark fin shaft with 1 large sharkfin to hold both wishbones would not work with this gun?
Hey Never Lucky, Ha Ha, my chest is fine :-) The RA handle is designed to fit into your chest. Pretty much the only gun I can do this with. On the question of the shark fin, and both bridles on one fin. This will work no problem at all. And as long as the shark fins are not higher than the muzzle rails you can split them on two fins no problem. I have found that the notches work best tho, and is so easy there is really no need to go to fins.
Hi Chris, what’s the benefit of using a carbon barrel on such long gun, if I remember well, rollers don’t have to fight barrel warping as much as traditional ones. Great videos, keep them coming!
Hey Dustsnow666 The buoyancy of the barrel allows for ballast to balance the gun so that it is neutral in the water. This is helpful in many areas, from handling to having to swim the weight of the gun from the depths.
Hello Chris I enjoy every time we watch your tutorial a passionate expert I would like to have one of your double roller heads where can I get it svp? Merci
Hey Maremano, If you just want the CDR muzzle pop over to coatesmans.com/shop/ Otherwise drop me an email at saltydiver@gmail.com if you would like me to make you up a gun for you. Cheers and thanks, Chris
Question please. What is the distance from center of roller to the band anchor point on the rob allen roller. Would u use same distance for a dual roller? Thanks, Stan
They are very similar in speed / power and range if they are using the same shaft. The limiting factor is the rubbers snap back velocity so there is the same max speed both guns will drive the shaft. The difference is in ease of loading
hello~ thanks for getting back to me. what is the purpose of double roller if it doesnt add power speed or range? is it so thicker shafts can be used? @@CoatesmansSpearfishing
Chris, I enjoy your videos, especially on roller set up. Any tips on retaining slip tip cable or spectra for use in double or single roller set ups? I usually use small rubber bands on the shafts, but wondering if you had an alternative you suggested.
Hey Michael, On the slip tips with cable on shafts that have shark fins. I get a long rubber band, choke it around the stopper ball on the cable and pull back the band to the shark fin. This works well with the big guns. On the drop barbs I have been experimenting with pulling the line underneath the muzzle and wrapping the shooting line over it at the muzzle eye. Still need to film this to see nothing else is going on. But that could be the solution.
@@CoatesmansSpearfishing cheers Chris, i will try that rubber band trick. i have routed my spectra slip tips the way you describe for drop barbs, it seems to work pretty well. i would be interested to see what your video shows. Honestly, i do my best to avoid using slip tips, but they don't have a role in certain situations.
@@CoatesmansSpearfishingthis is what I've been doing. Tested it in the pool and had no issues, seemed to work just fine for 3-4 shots. No issues out of the pool either.
@@CoatesmansSpearfishing can the 130 double roller go with 8mm shaft you think? In where i am, speargun shaft is so expensive and the much cheaper option is either 6mm or 8mm 316 stainless steel rod
Hey Chris, I'm wondering if a 120 double roller with more pretension/shorter rubbers outperform the 130 double roller as setup in this vid. Trying to work out what the best option would be as far as ease of loading and max power and range.
Fish Hunter. On a 120 if you used 65cm 14mm bands with a load assist you would have more power. In reality tho this 130 with 80cm 14mms is fairly easy to load in the water, and shoots really really well. @williampescasub who as I am sure you have seen shoots the crap out of wahoo and doggies. He uses a 130 CDR3 with 85cm bands. Sometimes longer !!
Offsides question, what is pro and con of african brea away rig compaired to normal bungee. If african is better with 3 attachment points, how to build? Thanks, stan
The light came on??? I asked about using 1 band on a dual band roller. I'm thinking remove 1 band instead of keeping both on? Also, mako 110 roller aluminum vs rob allen 110 toller carbon. The mako comes with a float attachment, does the rob allen 110 roller carbon require a float? Thanks for the help
Snow Bank, I do have a few clients that sometimes use just one band. And in certain situations works fine. I can speak for the Mako, but the RA 110 carbon roller is a good gun. Have you seen th-cam.com/video/yVkuk0d3-ug/w-d-xo.html If you use my ultra light CSR muzzle the gun is pretty much neutral in the water with a 7mm shaft.
Hey Stan, it is almost 110cm The easiest way to work out rubber lengths on rollers is half the barrel +5cm On a 110 use 60cm bands for both 14mm and 16mm. 14mm shoots a 7mm shaft and you can hand load 16mm shoots a 7.5mm shaft and you will need a load assist.

WOW! Well done!!! 💪 Proof that technique always precedes strength!! 😃👌👍
Thanks 👍, In the water this technique is much easier.
Chris I sent you the email after comeback from my vacation by June will order the cdr4 Speargun. Thank Chris
Nice gun brother
👍👍👍 sharing good tecneic..
👍 Slick video 💪
Crazy question please. Can u use one of the dual roller bands for a short shot simular to a conventional speargun. Great learning videos.
Thanks
Watch your fingers. I just learned that important lesson unloading my new RA 90 Roller...
Would like to have one of this here in philipines for wahoo and tuna

Will ur double roller run both 14mm and 16mm bands?
Thanks, Stan
Yes both 14 & 16mm
But you will need a cuttlefish barrel to carry the 8mm shaft and extra weights needed to handle the 16mm

Would u use same distance for a dual roller?
Thanks, Stan
Hi Chris what would you say is the best size roller to get too shoot tail out of the kelp at cape point?
hello Chris,
how does a mono roller vs double roller compare in terms or range? does it increase range? or only power?
They are very similar in speed / power and range if they are using the same shaft. The limiting factor is the rubbers snap back velocity so there is the same max speed both guns will drive the shaft.

130 with two rollers vs 130 with one roller: what does the extra rubber/roller add to the already very good setup?
with the double roller you use 14mm bands which you can easily load without a load assist and get more power than just a single 16mm.

what barrel are you using for the 130 dbl roller? is it possible to buy one living in western australia?
Hi Andrew,
Those are my StepUp carbon barrels, I really battle for supply of the carbon barrels so only sell them as complete guns.
fair enough thanks anyway@@CoatesmansSpearfishing
Do you salle these gun in ebay?
Hi Chris, do you sell rob allens already converted?
drop me an email at saltydiver@gmail.com and I will send you a price list of the guns that I build. cheers Chris
Hi, how can i buy a double muzzle roller like this?
coatesmans.com or drop me an email saltydiver@gmail.com
Sorry, i asked anchor distance and did not specify a 110 roller.
Thanks, Stan
Hey Stan, it is almost 110cm
The easiest way to work out rubber lengths on rollers is half the barrel +5cm
On a 110 use 60cm bands for both 14mm and 16mm.
14mm shoots a 7mm shaft and you can hand load
16mm shoots a 7.5mm shaft and you will need a load assist.
