SEAC Sting Practical Versatile Well-Balanced Easy to Handle Sling Speargun

beast, strong, reliable

I wanted to do a product review of this because I've looked at many reviews exclaiming simply "Great Gun" "Good use" "Needs improvement" etc. I purchased the 65cm version of the SEAC Sting Speargun. Being a beginner of spearfishing I really liked this gun. However I returned it. The gun is not actually 65cm in total nor are any other versions the length described in the heading. Maybe look at the fine print in product dimensions. 65cm works at to be about 25.5" which is what i thought overall the gun would be but it was at least 33". The measurement is taken of the aluminum barrel (so this excludes the front and rear stock). Being a beginner I was unaware of this and returned it to get a smaller size because this is too big for me. I understand that bigger gun means bigger fish but to be honest I couldn't even pull the bands back far enough to hook to the notched shaft. I'm a weakling I suppose or maybe the bands just need to get some flex in them. I know you aren't supposed to do this outside of the water but I don't exactly have a pool or nearby lake within range. I felt like the wishbone and bands were going to snap if I really applied pressure to get it locked in place. Full disclosure I didn't even get to fire the thing otherwise I would go into distance in detail. I'll go to say that I am inexperienced so maybe the bands are supposed to be tight, etc. but I believe i need a slightly smaller gun for my experience. Again it's all based on personal preference and what size fish you intend on hunting. Overall the construction of the Speargun is very good. I didn't know what to expect when buying this and was not disappointed in the quality of the gun. The safety mechanism is plastic ( a plastic switch at the top of the gun handle) Although I haven't had much experience with spearguns and their shafts; the one included was pretty good. 7mm i believe and the spear tip is Haitian( If I'm saying that wrong i apologize) but it is unlike the double winged tip which has two "wings" on the tip rather than one, which is included with this gun. The shaft locked in place very well. I banged it around a bit to see if it would fall out and it did not, however this doesn't mean it would do the same if the bands were connected to it. Also I would like to mention that the grip was very nice to use with either hand. Overall, I believe this to be a good gun and for the price range (at this time in March 2017 I purchased this 65cm speargun for about $90) for a beginner like myself it worked out very well. The only reason for 4 stars is because of the fact it took about a week to get to me ( I stopped using prime) so I was disappointed the size wasn't what I expected. However, look around on Amazon or other sites because prices always fluctuate. Other sellers sell this same speargun type and size for significantly less (about $20 cheaper, hence why i say price is decent) I definitely recommend this gun to others looking to get into spearfishing.

Muy buena gracias

Went out an shot a 10 ibs. walleye on the first try. Very impressive gun for the money. Two thoughts for modifying it. One, get a band to maintain tension on the rope, two either clamp or melt plastic on the ropes connection to the shaft. Three, be prepared to unscrew the tip to get the shaft out of the bigger fish.

Well made, fine trigger mechanism. I bought it for my 11 year old son. I am an adult in good shape stronger than average and for the life me I could not cock this speargun with the rubber sling included. Measured 50 Lbs. pull and it would not bring it halfway to the first notch on the spear. We replaced the rubber with what can be pulled with maximum human effort, about 60 Lbs. Saved the original sling for when my son grows up to be a world weight lifting champion.

Just went down and tested the it out. Pretty accurate and easy to operate in the water. Haven't eaten anything from it yet, but seems like a good option for fresh water lakes.

The gun is pretty nice for the price. However it's very underpowered in my opinion. I was taking shots at fish at 3-4 feet away and the spear was bouncing off them I added a second band. (See pics) And that made a huge difference. And now it's amazing. It's a great compact gun for areas with kelp or hole hunting Mine came with a spear and tip and line so I'm not sure why some reviews has issues with that. Also to those people leaving bad reviews because they can't pull the bungie back. You need to go to the gym. Pulling the bungies is pretty easy.

During my second time using this speargun, the wishbone snapped off from the band. This includes not only the plastic caps but the metal itself. I informed this to Seac/DipNDive (the reseller here on Amazon who fulfilled the purchase), and explicitly mentioned that even after screwing the cap back on, upon shooting the gun again, the wishbone fell out easily. The whole band/wishbone mechanism needed to be replaced. I was told to ship my defective gun to their office in New York. Since a month had already passed, the shipping cost alone costed $58. A week later, I received the gun back and much to my disappointment, all they did was screw the cap back on (without replacing the rubber band or attaching the wishbone's metal to the band or replacing the band/wishbone mechanism), which I had explicitly mentioned I had already tried and would not a solution because the wishbone would snap off again the next time the gun was shot. All in all, I give this gun and reseller a 1-star review for: 1) Product easy to be broken (even before breaking, there were a couple times when the firing mechanism would get stuck) 2) "Warranty" is basically void and they will not properly repair your gun if it breaks 3) Waste of time and money; as the shipping cost to send this gun in for "repair" ($58) was half the cost of the gun. The whole process took around 3 weeks. The whole process took around 3 weeks. During this time, I was borrowing a friend's JBL speargun. Even though it's more expensive, I have not yet found any fault with its firing mechanism and would be purchasing a new JBL gun to replace this one. I had originally purchased this Seac gun because it was the cheapest option, but I guess the saying "you get what you pay for" is true.

Ho comprato questo fucile per cominciare da neofita questo fantastico sport. Posso dire che il meccanismo di funzionamento è veramente semplice, ci sono i dovuti sistemi di sicurezza ed è facile da maneggiare. Per ora l’ho provato solo per la pesca al polpo (essenziale in alcune circostanze) mi riservo di aggiornare la recensione quando lo utilizzerò anche per i pesci.

La prima volta che compro un fucile da pesca. Ho scelto casualmente questo tipo e, devo dire che mi ha stupito. Sono andato a provarlo sul molo, ed ho fatto tre tiri trafiggendo tre pesci ( cefali da quasi un chilo). È davvero potente, prima che il pesce se ne accorga, e già trafitto. Unico problema per me: non è facile caricarlo, a terra, figuriamoci se lo si usa sott’acqua. Ma data la mia poca conoscenza dell’ attrezzo, non so se ciò è un difetto o un pregio. In sintesi mi è molto piaciuto e sono contento di questo fucile, davvero potente.

I like it but shaft bends easily if it hits rocks. Also sighting is difficult because safety button, at rear of barrel, hides front sight. To overcome problem I used epoxy to glue on higher front sight.

Articolo usato fin da subito ottimo il rapporto tra qualità e prezzo fa il suo uso facile da maneggiare
