Re: Ermes Avatar speargun handle
Can we discuss the Avatar muzzle? Looks like a very well designed muzzle with the band elevators. I'd really like to see how the bands look loaded if anyone has a pic.

Re: Ermes Avatar speargun handle
Similar styling to the handle with those angles, has the same options for either a 26 mm or 26.5 mm ID barrel tube depending on the "O" ring seat selected. The main thing is you don't want the line wrap prongs to snap off.

Re: Ermes Avatar speargun handle
still havent got my hands on mine yet, the global-supply-chain blues ;(
Anyone put the handle + muzzle + carbon pipe combo in the pool yet? Agree with Majd, 7.5mm shaft can be enough for bigger fish clear water if the handle is rigid and grippy enough [without extensive mods] to handle hot 14.5mm bands. easy to improve grip by sprinkling some grit on that thumb rest, tho even epoxy might not stick to the moulded silicon on the handle Last edited by kavachi; 09-20-2022 at 07:25 PM. |

Re: Ermes Avatar speargun handle
I would remove any prongs that are not needed ... usually one side is not needed. I would then reduce and sand off the remaining prong to where it just barely holds the shooting line. You don't need a big prong to hold line over shaft if it is under tension. For some reason the smaller prongs had a lot of complaints of line coming off easily ... but most likely that is because a reel was used with no bungee tension. I don't use reels so for me things might be different ... and thus a longer prong might be better for those with reels and might have looser line over shaft connection.

Re: Ermes Avatar speargun handle
In addition to the red, white and green there is now a model with the colored parts of the grip handle in blue. A carbon fibre stock is also available with a wide bulged section towards the rear as speculated on earlier.

Re: Ermes Avatar speargun handle
You can use up to 8 mm without any problem.

Re: Ermes Avatar speargun handle
I wonder who is making the “Avatar” carbon barrels, i.e. the sub-contractor, as such components are usually sourced from specialist manufacturers working in the material.

Re: Ermes Avatar speargun handle
Pete do you happen to have a link to the barrel. I tried searching yesterday on their site and could not find them.
