Brand: JBL

Located in: Add-On Gear, Spearguns

If you're looking for a spear gun that's big on performance while still leaving a little green in your wallet, the Explorer is perfect. Made with a hardened stainless trigger and shaft, cast aluminum, two piece handle, and combined with a 1" aerospace alloy barrel for quick target acquisition and fatal results. Same parallel power source and low profile design make the Explorer perfect for cagy fish when the shot window is a split second. Lightning models feature Tru-Glide rail and 9/32" shaft. These guns are all about speed and accuracy. At the end of the day it's not the flash, but the fish count that really matters, and nothing stacks them up like the Explorer.

Comments about JBL JBL Explorer 22 Single Sling Speargun (4D22):

This is a great overall gun. The only thing is that it has poor range but that can easily be solved. I simply replaced the 9/16 and out on two 5/8 rubber, it works great after that.I use it to hunt all kinds of fishes like grouper, snapper, barracuda etc.

Have used this gun in cold water, kelp beds or sandy flat bottoms. Works great, would like to see more range. Plenty of punch though on the short shots like around the rocks or shallow reefs.

Great beginner gun. Could use more range. But for around the kelp beds and rocks, reefs or even on the flats it is great. Plenty of punch on the short shots. Easy to load. Very nice price.

Good for beginners

By Scubabl

from Monterey Park, CA on 9/11/2007

Pros:

Good Range

Cons:

Too negative buoyanc

Best Uses:

Open Water

Describe Yourself:

Beginner

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about JBL JBL Explorer 22 Single Sling Speargun (4D22):

The buoyance is too negative, it's kinda tired when carrying underwater. But it's good enough for beginners and no need to spend too much in the beginning.

Replace tip is strongly recommanded. The original tip is not strong enough to hold big size fishes (16" or above)
