About JBL 38-SPECIAL XHD Triple Sling Spear Gun (4D38XHD)
MADE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO REQUIRE MORE POWER!
Manufactured in the JBL Oceanside California Factory for maximum quality control and craftsmanship. 38-Special XHD* XHD stands for Extra Heavy Duty and JBL means it. Thicker aerospace aluminum extruded alloy barrel, 5/16½hardened stainless steel trigger mechanism, carbide tipped and is equipped with 5/8" (16mm) Nitro Hi-Mod bands that feature stainless wire wishbones. The XHD is the gun of choice for commercial and hard-core shooters; to these guys it's a tool not a toy. Three bands and a heavy shaft will punch through just about any fish, which is why the Shark Research Institute depends on the XHD for tough jobs like radio tagging 40' (12 meter) whale sharks. Go big, go XHD. XHD Guns are nearly identical to the Magnum guns, but more rugged, and longer lasting. Using more heat-treated steel and more powerful slings, these guns provide longevity and power in one.
The 38-Special XHD comes with a 28" x 5/16" (71 cm x 8 mm) shaft which is made from 17-4 spring stainless, heat treated for maximum hardness, which virtually eliminating shaft flex. The shaft is equipped with JBL's JBL843 Rotating Rock Point Tip. 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.
JBL's patented (#4685239) rotating design allows for 360°-degree spin, providing greater holding power and minimizing the chance of your point unthreading from the shaft because of a fish "rolling" in battle. With the 2-5/8" (67mm) wing span and 3/8" (9.5mm) standard profile opens a large hole for easy passage of barbs through the fish, one shot is all you will ever need with this tip. Designed to perform even after impact on rock and reef, the JBL843 is a durable workhorse. Machined rock point is the quickest way to put fish on the deck. This tip is ideal for medium to large fish in open water or around rocks and reefs.
The shaft is propelled by three Nitro 5/8" x 16" (16mm x 406mm) slings. JBL's unique latex formulation and dip manufacturing process delivers radical modulus strength. The power curve increases as bands are stretched for optimum performance. Special anti-oxidants help protect against harmful U.V. rays, prolonging sling life. Wishbones are 302 stainless wires that provide superior strength and durability. The spear gun has a 36" (91.5 cm) length with a reach of 14' (4.27 meters) and is negatively buoyant.
