Spearfishing Tips? Should I buy the following speargun?

Im 140lbs, and about 5’8. Im a pretty good swimmer/diver.. Im sort of new to spearfishing but i have had some experience, i plan to buy this:

Pure Instinct by Mares Phantom Carbon 110cm Speargun

New Technology nylon injection reinforced with composite fibers
Water tightness will not be lost at any point due to single piece construction
Anti-slip grip and loading pad soft touch material
Built-in shaft guild for precision
Equipped with special shaft track inserts that afford superior accuracy, with very
low hydrodynamic resistance
Spring stainless steel shafts and points
19mm bands with articulated wishbone included
Material used absorbs vibrations thus making the tube slient
6.5mm stainless steel shaft diameter
SHAFT LENGTH: 43″
TOTAL LENGTH: 59″

Is this a good gun for me? I plan to use it in relatively rocky (but still quite sandy areas)
shooting 6”-24″ fish

Is Mares good? is this a good gun?

Any tips will be apreciated Thanks

It’s a great spear gun, but I would say at $300 a bit on the expensive side. Since you’re new to spearfishing I’d think it would be a better idea to start with a JBL Explorer or another speargun at about half the price. That way you get a chance to try out your skills and learn the sport without spending quite so much money.

By the way. The fact that you chose a sling as your first gun is a very good sign. The air cartridges are great, but can be a problem when reloading while fishing. With a rubber sling all you need to do is restretch the spring and replace the spear and your ready to go again.

Whatever your decision have fun and be careful..
