Thank you for all that info spearq8. Have you tried the Bleutec Nemesis? That looks like a great platform for 2 x 14mm small ID bands and a 7-7.5mm sigalsub shaft. For some reason, I am a huge sucker for carbon. The other carbon option I'm looking into is the Mythicon Argus.

The fella I spoke to about the Oceanborn used 2 x 16mm bands and a 7.5mm shaft. For a gun of that size, I was very surprised he used such a light setup but he said it worked for him and was its sweet spot. I figured he'd go with 3 bands but who am I to disagree with his opinion, when his boat brought in more fish than mine

If I wanted to pick up a wooden speargun, it would be an Abellan Denton or Albacore 130. Best in its class 100%... the Budak spearguns are also peaking my interest

PS. Sorry to the OP for derailing the thread... I am also in the same boat as you and want to find a gun I'm happy dropping 1-2K on
