Where to buy

Koah’s Battle Axe 48” is a powerful beast. This versatile speargun allows the user to switch easily between freeshafting and lineshafting. The line release is combined with a specialized bungee so there’s no loose, hanging line when freeshafting and you have the ability to quickly rig the gun to a line system without the need to re-line.

A wide butt lets you comfortably reload with the gun into your hip. The Battle Axe 48” features a spare shaft holder and a 0.75-inch (19 mm) enclosed track, which helps when reloading the shaft. Plus, a GoPro mount means you can capture your epic kills on camera.
