DESCRIPTION
Don't let the price tag fool you, the Carbine series delivers more bang for yourbuck than anything in its class. Just like its bigger brother, Carbines are constructed of 1" (25 mm) 6063 aerospace grade aluminum and feature high-strength stainless shafts and triggers. They're powered by one or two 1/2" (13 mm) Hi-Mod bands and a low-profile, pistol grip handle that makes for easy target acquisition. So, if you want a spear gun that will bring home plenty of fish without breaking the bank, the Carbine fits the bill.

The Mini comes equipped with the JBL716S 16" (40 cm) Stainless 17-4 spring steelshaft with a 9/32" (7.11 mm) diameter, has one JBL608 sling with 302 stainless steel wishbone. A durable molded corrosion free ABS Handle and muzzle, guns overall length is 19" (48.3 cm) and has a 6' (1.83 meters) range. The 2011 JBLD-5 & D-6 both have a shaft with integrated point and barb, no need for an extra spear tip. However since the tip is still threaded, if you wish, you can add adapter JBL815 which will then let you connect any 6mm JBL spear point.

JBL's fixed spear points are a perfect blend of durability and performance. Each point is designed for low maintenance, dependability and most important results. The JBL565 Shock Line will keep your gun and spear shaft attached to one another when you shoot helping bring in the game.

    Comments about JBL D5 Mini Spear Gun (D-5):

    I bought the D5 Mini spear gun and could not get the band pulled back. Friends of mine that spear fish a lot had trouble pulling the band. I found that the gun was a waste of money. You should buy a longer gun.

    Pros

    • Small and easy to carry

    Cons

      Best Uses

      • Close To Shore
      • Kelps and Rocks
      • Small Prey

      Comments about JBL D5 Mini Spear Gun (D-5):

      I got lots of fish with this little spear gun. I had this spear gun for several years for now. I started fishing with this gun. I dive among large kelps and rocks. So, smaller the better for me. The tip that comes with the gun will not penetrate a fish all the way and will not hold your fish. Since I got three prong tip(six inch), I got lots of fish including over 20 inch and over 15 pound Cabezon.

            its too loud and slow fish move before the spear has a chance to hit. If by some miracle it does hit it doesnt penetrate. I've gone back to my pole spear for small game. it looks cool on my wall Ill give it that

              Comments about JBL D5 Mini Spear Gun (D-5):

              True to the saying you get what you pay for this speargun is a low end model.The first problem is that there is no place to coil up the line like on most spearguns so it just kind of floats around in the water.The line comes with no shock cord.The band is very difficult to pull back because of there not being any butt plate to hold against your leg.There are better made mini spearguns out there,save your money and purchase one of them.

              Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
