Who it is for
The Cobia suits spearfishers who want a no-fuss band gun for hunting in clear or moderately clear water. Shorter lengths (50 to 60 cm) are easier to handle in tight reef and cave environments, while longer lengths (80 to 90 cm) give more reach and a longer power stroke for open-water shooting. After every dive, rinse the gun in fresh water, let it dry and check the band, line and shaft for wear before the next session.
FAQ
Which length should I choose?
Choose a shorter gun for poor visibility, caves and reef hunting, and a longer one for clear water and larger fish. If you are unsure, contact us with your typical dive spots and we will help.
Is the gun supplied with a shaft and line?
The gun is described as rigged with a 6.6 mm tri-cut spring steel shaft and 2 mm monofilament shooting line, so it is ready to set up.
How do I look after it?
Rinse with fresh water after use, dry it and replace worn bands and line when they show signs of ageing.
