Have you ever shot a Biller?
I wont speak for Rob Allen,,, but I have shot both JBL and Biller on the same dive day...That is as fair a comparison as I can make...

How about you?

I agree with you both, its like the left and the right,Hatfield n McCoys,
Ford or Chevy etc.I grew up on JBL's , then shot Sea Hornets,similar to Biller and have over the years shot many guns.
I agree with Tony ,its not the arrow its the Indian,but but but , I do believe in
technology and for example the Spearfishing Specialty Rhino is way better than a Biller.Certain Koahs , Black Tips and Death Sticks shoot the eyes out of fish and can constantly shoot super straight .Some cant hit the side of a barn door, shitty build or demo models.Great example is a hand gun , 45 colt compared to a Glock,both shoot good but a Glock is lights out.There is something said for craftsmanship,flip phone or i phone,
some drive and like ford pintos and some with ride in a Cadillac.
Get my drift, to each his own but nothing beats technology,nothing.

Re: Looking to Buy New Speargun

Nostalgia is definitely a part of it but also practicality. If I thought I'd make more money with anything else I'd do it.You don't even want to see the guns used by the guys I consider good spearfishermen.

Re: Looking to Buy New Speargun

There are many good spearguns to choose from, so choose the one that makes you happy. Don't buy one just because someone is trying to make money from you or someone is convincing you to buy a speargun you don't like. With that said, I enjoy using my Riffe's and my oldest one works just like the day I bought it which was 15 years ago.
