Best spearfishing Brand

Most companies have a flagship product and the rest of their stuff is so so. I try to make whatever I can myself. Other than that OMER has good masks and foot pockets. Speardiver wetsuits are the best.

Riffe has good quality guns but each model with a design flaw, the handle. Bought a Riffe snorkel once, got rid of it the mouth piece was too big. That was the snorkel with a purge and the mouth piece that fits a scuba regulator. The Riffe spearfisher's knife is good but Speardiver Predator knife is a nicer one with double serration from the same Italian factory. Riffe's bigger knife the silencer I think, is too big and bulky. The sheath is hard plastic which is heavy and inflexible. Riffe thin wetsuits are crap, they fall apart see my review. For their new wetsuits just give it a chance before you buy and let some people get it and come back with reviews. Riffe floats are nice but expensive. The new big inflatable float (2 atmospheres) looks very well made and doesn't have a comparable one on the market. Their stringers are nothing but a shaft with a hole and a piece of mono. The Riffe trigger mechanism is $75 and doesn't hold a candle to the Speardiver triggers. Did I leave anything out?

Not Omer, for sure!

Once Marco was stranded on a small island with no food for 11 days. The plastic trigger mech on his rob allen broke and he couldn't use his speargun. The only way he could get nourishment was to chew on his omer wetsuit to extract tiny fungi which kept him alive. It saved his life but he ended up hating the taste of that wetsuit so much that he now hates everything omer. Because of his ordeal he lost a lot of weight and now he's going around saying that he found the secret to staying fit in middle age

The gun in the picture that "el cabrón" Dan refferred is an Omer :D, but the old ones (made in Italy) and yes, it has a Omer camo tape on it. It was my first "serious" band gun; a 96 cm single banded with which I managed to get many wahoos (That's why I laught when I see people with their "tuna" guns). I used pneumatics for 20+ years before.

Nowadays Omer is cheap good looking chinese crap sold expensive. :nono:

The wetsuits seams fall apart, their fins all break (Record, Bat, Ice). Also the footpockets break sometimes. The shafts used on their "Cayman" guns bend after the first serious fish is shot, I have a T20 carbon fiber gun that also failed in the barrel (a crack where the pin to attach the muzzle is located), the knives bend o even break, the paint of the cayman comes off after 5 dives, the alluminum guns all exploded, the pelagic reels all froze corroded.... Want more?

And no, I don't have an Allien mask, however, if you have a fogging problem, there is a solution; burn the inside of the glasses with a lighter, then rub them strongly with your thumb inside and out with toothpaste and rinse with the hottest water coming out from the tap. Repeat the toothpaste procedure once again and spit it before each dive. Never ever fog again.

What would be your choice as the best spearfishing manufacturer around and why.

Speardiver without a doubt.

Dan, mark my words when I´m telling you that I want so bad a pair of Speardiver C90 carbon fins. Gonzalo is all excited about his and waiting for them. When I finally get rid of the c4 repaired fins ..

Your going to love them.:thumbsup2: I pitty the deep Snapper down there.:D
Cheers, Don

I like some stuff from Riffe, specially the euro gun(they have to correct the magnet in the front, maybe is only the old models) I have the new 1.5 wetsuit from them and love it, I dont have too use lots of weight with it ans is nice and warm, would like to have Speardiver carbon fins, 90 or the 100, near future.

i like the red Predator knife, i like akona footie booties and rob allen guns. riffe shafts are nice. omer mask and snorkel tops it alll,, although i think if micromask fit me itd be better. footpockets and blades is up in the air.

i think itd be hard to fully outfit urself with ONE brand and be happy with every single peice of gear

well said Steven, i agree with that.

I also realy value stuff that I make myself, it means more and is often tailored exactly to your needs and body

the best spearfishing brand for me are the ones that help the spearo with good prices and quality...i mean wtf we r not doctors,lawyers or any kind of that we r spearos, fishermans....some brands just have prizes waaayyy to up....:crazy::confused1:
