DESCRIPTION
The spear gun design that started it all, the JBL Magnum series of guns is probably responsible for more speared fish than all other spear guns combined. It's no wonder; as this durable and accurate workhorse features a 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) drawn alloy barrel, corrosion resistant hardened stainless steel trigger, shaft and point. The JBL728S shaft is made from 17-4 spring stainless for durability and long life shaft is 24" (61 cm) in length with a 5/16" diameter. Handles are constructed of two-piece cast aluminum providing strength and ease of maintenance. Guns overall length is 44" (112 cm)

The Magnum 38 Special features two 9/16" Hi-Mod JBL214 bands with 302 stainless wire wishbones, one hand safety and trigger operation. Let's get right to the point, these tips are designed to punch through even the toughest fish, penetrating thick skin and hard bone. Constructed of hardened 17-4 stainless with a razor sharp finish they'll make short work of just about any game fish. Low-profile, stainless wings are quickly deployed and angled to grab tight and hold on. Sliding wing retainer allows for easy removal of fish. Our patented (#4685239) rotating design allows for 360 degree spin, providing greater holdingpower and minimizing the chance of your point unthreading from the shaft as a result of a fish "rolling" in battle. 2-5/8-inch wing span designed to perform even after impact on rock and reef, the JBL843 is a durable workhorse. Each point is designed for low maintenance, dependability and most important results.

Gun is equipped with the JBL515 Shock Line. Sometimes we miss or we shoot a large fish and the recoil can pull the gun out of your grip, which ever the shock line will keep you in control. Guns range is 25' (7.6meters).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 androcks where heavy penetration is needed but range is not critical. Gun is totally made in the USA.

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.

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.

    Absolutely fun gun and accurate up to 8ft or so. Speared many many Black fish/Tau tag and shot a few striped bass. Waiting for the Run of bigger fish to try on larger prey.

        Comments about JBL Magnum 38 Special Double Sling Spear Gun (4D38):

        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.

            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.

              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.
