What color bands do you like?

    With respect I've never disclosed where Speardiver rubber is manufactured, and you don't take care of my purchasing, so you can't claim such knowledge. You may think you know but I'm certainly not going to confirm one way or the other. And it doesn't matter, Speardiver rubber will stand on it's own merit, hence all the trouble I go to to make it innovative, distinctive in appearance and consistent in high performance.

    Dan: I like you for being so "direct". But as Klabautermann said, you should chill a little bit, take a breath, read what I wrote and then answer...


    I NEVER asked if the rubber was from "X" manufacturer. Just if it was from the same as before because I consider that it was good. That's all. :)


    I've never had a problem with your gear or your customer service and you know that I've recommended you to many spearos. :thumbup:


    Working in sales and dealing with people demands a little more patience, "left hand" and being a little more polite. Not everyone is like me and probably you will loose customers with that attitude.


    With respect. ;)

    I know I know, the only thing wrong with Speardiver gear is me :) It is what it is.


    My post probably would've appeared more appropriate in response to previous posts where you did mention manufacturer "X". I just felt that MY rubber thread was where it needed to be addressed.

    I think these silver bands you sent me are pretty sexy looking on my gun. I don't care what the fish think. ( I did have to break out the KY jelly to get the inserts in the 'no hole' band.)
    So I walk down the beach in camo wet suit with silver bands and hi viz reel line and yellow catch bag with a white and orange float hand dive flag, the only thing lacking is some Speardiver Beach Bling sunglasses. 8)

    Wait a sec (forgive me if I'm wrong( which I probably am)) the no hole rubbers in your pic are black latex I asume
    Isn't natural latex ( like the centres of the other rubbers) the best quality, as far as recoil strength ect
    Am I wrong ?
    If im actually right are there natural latex no hole rubber going to be available?


    Sorry I know it is a little off topic

    All Speardiver rubber is natural latex. The natural color of latex is amber. Dye is added to latex to make different colored tubing. I did a write up a few years ago explaining that natural color latex is the best performing because when dye is added it replaces some quantity of latex. Since then others have quoted me and this information propagated. While theoretically it is true, in reality the amount of dye added is so small there's not enough of it to affect the rubber's performance. So practically the color of the band has no bearing on performance.


    Discussion of the Speardiver no hole rubber continues here http://spearfishing.world/spea…-hole-speargun-bands.html

    No I'm talking about the Center of the rubber, in the pic it is black. I read some place they add carbon to make it black. And Rob Allen in his videos says it is infirior quality.
    I'm not talking about the outer colour of the bands.


    Not saying I'm right either just a question.
    Oh I don't mind if you need to delete this question ;)
