Brand: JBL

Located in: Add-On Gear, Spearguns

The spear gun design that started it all, the JBL Magnum series of guns is probably responsible for more speared fish than all otherspear guns combined. It's no wonder; as this durable and accurate workhorse features a 1 1/4" drawn alloy barrel, hardened stainlesstrigger, shaft and point. Handles are constructed of two-piece cast aluminum providing strength and ease of maintenance. The Magnum series features two or three 9/16" Hi-Mod bands with stainless wire wishbones. Tried and trusted, this is one hunting buddy you'll be glad to share a secret spot with. These guns are most suitable for spear fishing among reefs and rocks where heavy penetration isneeded but range is not critical. The Sawed-Off Magnum is used for both reef and rock fishing and for long range and heavy penetration. The combination of shaft length and the 9" long butt extension make the gun easier to load.

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

this is a good gun for the money but you really need to take care of it. if you get a chip in the paint it will corode around it. you also have to take 2 screws out to take off the butt, so that you can rinse off the trigger mecanism every time you use it or it will become grindy with salt. it is accurate but it is also hard to get used to. sometimes the shaft will not lock into the trigger but you can solve this by pulling the trigger a couple of times. It floats after the spear is fired witch i like and the bands have good power.

I really recommend this product.

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

I am a female hunter and this gun is very easy to use. It is accurate, light and appears durable. The only negative so far is that despite a good rinse the metal comonents of the muzzle and handle appear to corode slightly. Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons.

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

Great gun for the money - a best buy! Good range, easy to load, well built. Good starter gun that you can use a lifetime. When storing gun, it helps to take off extension butt so you can spray insides with oil. Otherwise the safety & trigger can get sticky for bit until you work it out.

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

I have been a Dive Master for years and have tried
several more expensive guns and i always go back to this one. its simple to use and realize this is a GUN it needs to be taken care of. but if you do lose or break a part they are always easy to find.
** HINT ** spray your spear and channel (ONLY) with PAM no stick before you go and rub your bands with BAG BALM after you clean your gun before you put it away.

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

I dive for abalone and spear fish in north CA, and this gun is great anything from small sea trout to ling cod and halibut, one down side the metal ring on the spear that fits into the end of the gun, if your tip gets unscrewed you will loose it, but still a great gun.

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

I use this gun amongst rocks and reefs where a longer gun would be unwieldy. The gun has plenty of power and will punch through anything. The range is one of the few drawbacks along with the speartip. Buy a new rockpoint single flapper or icepick slip tip.

this is the best gun i have ever used!I have tired OMER and AB-Biller and they are like toys compared to this gun.This gun is very accurate and quiet. Maybe Sassy Pants is not used to using top quality guns.But this is one of the best gun I have ever used.To me JBL or Riffe are the best brands of spearguns. thats just my opinion.

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

It's so strong that it will shake your hand when you use all the three slings and it will force the rope.
I suggest changing the rope to a spring or reel.

Great Gun for New England waters

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

This is my first spear gun, its very easy to use and it hits the fish very hard. Reloads quick and is netural in the water when loaded, and floats once the shaft is out of the gun. I keep it clipped to my float/flag so i can just let it go and deal with the fish and the shaft.

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

I bought this gun for shallow water and small fish. Works great, but if you decide to go after larger fish such as snapper, grouper, and cobia get a gun at least 50in or better. This gun dosent to have enough power for shots longer than 6-8 feet. I would only recomend this gun for small fish that are in close range.

Comments about JBL JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Speargun (4D44):

This was the first gun I bought. It did not work right from day one. I had been using my friends AB-Biller and the two guns do not compare. Very inaccurate and very noisy underwater. After one shot, all the other fish leave the area because of the noise it makes. I would recomend AB-Biller or OMER.

I say that this speargun is a good overall starter gun except for the fact that the included rubbers are VERY strong. Good gun except for some parts like muzzle need to be replaced with custom gear. (only comes with 14' of shooting line)
