Speargun Bands – The Heart of Power for Every Rubber Speargun
TL;DR: Specialized latex bands for maximum propulsion and accuracy. Natural rubber for top durability and elasticity. Sizes from 14–20 mm, available in circular and parallel setups to match power and handling.
Why Speargun Bands Matter
Speargun bands are the primary source of propulsion in rubber-powered spearguns. They store the energy that launches the shaft with speed and force, delivering precise shots and consistent performance. Choosing the right band ensures both power and safety.
Diameter & Power
- 14–16 mm: Easier loading, higher shaft speed, great for beginners and shallow hunting.
- 18–20 mm: More thrust and range for deeper water and larger fish; requires stronger loading technique.
Length, Stretch & Setups
- Length: Select according to gun length and desired stretch.
- Stretch Ratio: Typical effective range is 300–350% for power without over-stressing the latex.
- Configurations: Circular bands for simplicity and balance; parallel bands for incremental power tuning and modularity.
Material & Build
- Natural latex: Premium elasticity and recovery for repeatable shots.
- Quality cores and coatings: Built to resist UV, salt, and abrasion when properly maintained.
Care & Longevity
- Rinse with fresh water after each dive.
- Dry in shade and store cool, away from heat and sunlight.
- Inspect for cracks or flat spots; replace bands every 6–12 months depending on use and exposure.
Safety Notes
- Match band diameter and length to your gun and shooting style.
- Load carefully to avoid injury; use proper technique and gloves if needed.
FAQ
- How often should I replace bands?
Every 6–12 months based on usage, sun exposure, and storage conditions. - Best diameter for beginners?
14–16 mm for easier loading and good speed. - Do bands need lubrication?
No—freshwater rinse and shaded storage are enough.
