How I make Speargun Rubbers / Bands / Slings in 2024
Making your own speargun bands is an essential skill and it's pretty easy to do yourself. Learn some spearfishing basics in this video and why I do things the way I do. I know I've made a video like this in the past but with new divers getting into the scene every year it was time for a refresh.

    Back in the ussr that fish was a prized target - you had to dive deep for it and sometimes it was very difficult to extract it from their holes. The biggest I saw was 5 kilos very shallow - I got so excited that I missed at point blank range. I never saw so many in a school. However outside of Corvina (Brown meagre) this place looks desolated. Did you see any mullet there?

    So, for a 90 cm speargun, your rubber length is 74 cm? I guess that's 250% elongation. Isn't it better to be around 300%? I have 65 cm rubber on a 100 cm Cressi gun like that.

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann 12 дней назад

      The length of the gun isn’t relevant. It’s the distance the band stretches. You have have guns with reverse mechanisms, conventional mechanisms, shafts with notches placed way down the shaft, muzzles that are longer or shorter etc. Hence why I measure the length of it stretching. No problems shooting fish super accurately with this setup on my 90z

    @mitjamiklic 21 день назад

    Hey, just wanted to let you know that you got the hyperventilation part wrong. It does not get rid of your CO2, however it saturates your blood with oxygen (hence the dizzines sometimes) and thats why you are unable to detect your amount of CO2 while diving and delaying your urge to breathe. You can do deep breathing while making sure your exhale time is at double of the inhale time (inhale 4s, exhale 8s), this will make sure you never hyperventilate and it will help get rid of CO2 effectively. You were right however about the danger part. It is dangerous to hyperventilate while diving.

    Arf! I had just finished making bands with your previous video! This one is great though! It raises the question about the type of sigalsub bands you are using. In the previous video for your short gun, you used the purple Extreme bands with the small hole, which have "very high contraction speed" and "high exit speed." However, you did not mention the diameter back then for your short gun. Do you remember what it was? For my TeakSea Beam 85cm, I've made them using 14.5mm bands with 280% elongation. They are easy to load, precise, very quiet, and seem powerful at short distances (which is what I usually encounter while diving in South Brittany, France), but they lack power, speed, and range for longer shots on bigger fish. I've missed a few because of that and decided not to try again to avoid harming a fish I could not bring back. Now, in this video, you say you "hate" the purple Extreme bands and seem to be using the "Classic Reactive Brown" with "low load loss" for a "fluid and powerful shot." You mention 17.5mm. To get more power, distance, and smoothness, I'd like to upgrade to the "Classic Reactive Brown." What diameter would you suggest for my 85cm gun? I'm not sure if I should go with 16mm or 17.5mm. I'm also hesitating between the Classic Reactive Brown and the Reactive Evo bands. The small hole doesn't scare me. If you have had the opportunity to try them both, I'm curious about your feedback :) Thanks again for your great videos! Cheers from France. :)

    • @DanielMann
      @DanielMann 22 дня назад

      For an 85cm I would use a single 17.5mm band with a 6.5mm shaft. This is a perfect setup with plenty of power and accuracy. I won’t use the evo bands, not much benefit and more negatives for me. I use the sigalsub purple extreme bands in 19mm all those years ago. Didn’t like it so much. I have it on my inverted roller but that’s about it.
