How do I choose a spear gun?

Choosing a Spear Gun

LeisurePro Tip: Spearfishing is a sport in which a diver uses a spear gun to catch fish. The sport is very challenging and is not for the squeamish. If you want to learn how to spear fish, you may want to try out different guns until you find the right one for you. When trying out different guns, pay attention to the grip, the line length and the type of spear head. You may prefer one type of grip, but another type of line length or spear head. It may take many tries before you figure out what does and does not work for you. When you have established your preferences, you can find a spearfishing gun that encompasses each feature you most enjoyed.

Spearfishing can be dangerous. It is very important that you and your dive buddy carry dive knives in case one of you should become entangled in your line after spearing a fish.
