Check with John at Koah Spearguns. Koahspearguns.com.

He will make you a nice one.

I believe that Aqua-Hunter is the maker of KOAH guns in Jupiter, and might be able to help you out, but i'm not 100%

They are in Jupiter, but not made by Aqua-Hunter. They are made by (as Lisa stated) Gruper Reeper (John). He is the same guy who runs Hypnautical Dive Charters.

Re: Is any craftsman willing to make me a spear gun.$$$

I'll throw a big recommendation to John at Koah as well (since it's the gun I use and I love it - See my signature)

Not only did John make me an awesome gun, but he was incredibly helpful in making the gun I wanted, not just selling me a cookie cutter model.

He can custom make the front end for various band setups / band sizes. He'll move the handle forward or backward, want a reel or Floatline or a Freeshafting setup, he does it.

combine his willingness to make this adjustments to your gun, with a wealth of expertise in using the guns (on his own charter where he has loaner guns and gets constant feedback from people using them)

and you can't miss (pun intended)

His pricing is extremely competitive as well, and based on some other threads, he has some brand new table saws he needs to put to work.

And he shipped mine to California I get a lot of good comments when people see it out here

Put me down as a big Koah Custom Speargun fan. He made and developed my Koah Click 'n Fire and it's like the swiss army knives of guns. It even has the tooth pick holder!!

Re: Is any craftsman willing to make me a spear gun.$$$

Koah by Grouper Reeper ( John ) 52 Marksman !!
John made my gun for "me". 25" 5/8ths bands and a preloading pin for my bad bicep which saves me $ on extra pussy tab shark fins on my shafts.

Re: Is any craftsman willing to make me a spear gun.$$$

I just recieved my KOAH as well. It's the newer model 55'' Marksman. It's a bad ass looking gun!!! I was also out on the boat with him for 2 days getting bugs, but was not able to shoot my gun at anything. I tried a HAIL MARY shot at a Mutton, but failed lol. Definitely noticed the power behind it though with only 2 bands back. My brother Danny has a 48'' Marksman and loves it

Thanks for all the compliments guys ... I'll help you out (guy who started the thread) .. I'm just swamped right now and once the guns are caught up and charters slow down I'll build you a bad ass speargun ... wait till you see Anthony's new gun (glymph) .. its rediculous, might shed a tear handing it off to him
