Hi Killian. And welcome.

What is the vis like where you're going to hunt?

There's a lot of great guys on here with a lot of knowledge. I'm a tropical, clear water diver. I use longer guns because I can see the fish farther away.

Also, don't try to go too cheap on a first gun. If you buy a nicer one and you don't like spearing, you can sell it. The guy who runs this site, Dan, has good stuff. Check the Speardiver Gear link at the top of the page.

thanks for the reply. the vis isn't that great. usually murky and ill be hunting around jetty rocks, so I figured a 75cm would be better for closer shots. the species ill be hunting for are ling cod, rockfish, surf perch etc.. nothing to big. I mean id rather not spend more than 200 in all honesty. I figured I could start with a less expensive gun just to learn on and as I get better save up to buy a more expensive higher quality gun.

hi I am brand new to spearfishing and I am in the process of find a good reliable accurate spear gun that wont break the bank. my budget is about 150$. I was looking at either the omer cayman sport 75, or the seac bolt 75. any advice for the two or if you guys would recommend a different gun that would be awesome. I am excited to start spearing and would like a nice reliable starter gun. thanks for the input!

hi my name is killian im 24, I am brand new to spear fishing. I'm a avid rod and reel fisherman both in fresh and saltwater and I am very enthusiastic about learning the sport of spearfishing. I have a buddy in new jersey that actually showed me a couple videos he posted of him underwater fishing and I couldn't get enough of it. I have been glued to the computer screen watching video after video of people spearfishing and it looks just plain fun as hell. I am no newbie of swimming in the ocean as I have surfed since middle school. I am excited to join this board and learning as much as possible about spear fishing. I know I will have lots of questions and I am sure there are many people here that are full of knowledge and experience that can help me answer those questions as well give me great advice on becoming a safe and efficient spear fisherman. I look forward to hopefully being able to meet and fish with some of you and learn from you. thanks
