Where to buy

For beginners and teenage spearfishers, the JBL Carbine Speargun (D7) is a great option. It’s compact, lightweight, and very easy to use. The gun itself is constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum while the triggers and shaft are stainless steel, which makes this gun very durable.

The durability extends to the tip, which is designed to hunt anything up to a mid-sized fish. The JBL Carbine Speargun (D7) definitely gives you plenty of bang for your buck.
