Wishbones for Spearfishing
Wishbones for spearfishing are an essential component for rigging speargun bands.
Let’s take a closer look at the key aspects of this accessory and review the 4 most important categories of wishbones for spearfishing.
Metal wishbones (for tying bulk rubber bands)
Metal wishbones for tie-in setups allow you to make custom bands by pairing them with any bulk rubber.
Bulk rubber bands are now used on all the best spearguns and roller guns.
Depending on the size selected, metal wishbones mounted on single- and multi-band spearguns offer the advantage of keeping the bands parallel, while also providing a clean sight line.
They are less suitable for wooden guns, where they can scratch the stock, and for roller guns, where textile wishbones are required.
Our catalog includes the best metal wishbones in stainless steel, as well as ultralight titanium models.
Discover our Metal Wishbones for Tie-In Bands.
Textile wishbones and inserts (for tying bulk rubber bands)
Textile wishbones and tie-in inserts allow you to make custom bands by pairing them with any bulk rubber.
Textile wishbones, or Dyneema wishbones, are an excellent choice on any type of band-powered speargun, such as standard spearguns equipped with circular bands, as well as all roller guns.
Dyneema wishbone loops offer the advantage of not scratching the stock of wooden guns, being ultra-compact when properly assembled, lightweight, and cost-effective.
Discover our Textile Wishbones and Tie-In Inserts.
Threaded-collar wishbones (for use with threaded bands)
Wishbones with threaded collars are specifically designed for threaded bands. Spearguns with threaded bands are becoming increasingly rare, but they are still available on the market today.
Bands for these guns are preassembled and feature threaded bushings at the ends, which screw into the muzzles of spearguns equipped with the dedicated housings.
The wishbones used with this type of band must necessarily feature dedicated threaded collars.
Discover our Threaded-Collar Wishbones.
Muzzle adapters (for use with bulk rubber bands)
Spearguns equipped with a threaded muzzle for threaded bands can be converted for use with bulk rubber bands using the dedicated muzzle adapters
By installing the conversion kit on your speargun’s threaded muzzle, you can finally start using bulk rubber bands, with significant cost savings every time you replace your bands and the ability to benefit from the highest-quality bulk rubber available on the market.
This eliminates the need to use threaded bands and threaded-collar wishbones, which are known to be less efficient than tied wishbones, whether textile or metal.
Discover our Muzzle Adapters.
Conclusion
There are several types of wishbones for spearfishing, each with its own features and specific applications.
Choosing the right wishbone for your speargun is essential to maximize your gun’s accuracy, precision, and effectiveness. Selecting the type of wishbone that best suits your band-powered speargun and your personal preferences is key.
We hope this information has been helpful in choosing wishbones for standard spearguns and roller guns. If you need free advice, do not hesitate to contact our customer service team.
