I just bought the Cobia 500 mostly for reef hunting but I’d love to see how far I can push it. Would you recommend a bungee for it ? Could it also be used with a second 16mm 48cm rubber and maybe more mono wraps for shooting bigger further fish ? Would love to hear your advise.
No problem using a gun bungee. I would not try power it up, you will over power the spear. To go double rubber you would need to increase the spear diameter.
Hey Rob, I am using the Scorpia 700 (without the rail). After adding a shark clip, 40 m reel and the action camera setup the buoyancy is negative, so I was thinking what can be done to fix that, maybe switching the aluminium barrel to a carbon one?
The carbon will have more Buoyancy but not that much, probably not enough. A longer barrel will improve this. There is not a real big difference between the 700 and the 800. What length spear and or diameter are you using?
@@AleksPetrovProspecting Ok, that is already as light as possible. Only other way is to go to one of our Timberline barrels that have the timber side stocks.
@@AleksPetrovProspecting Yes but it is expensive. We will set it up hear exactly as you have you gun set up there, tank test and balance so it is just negative. When you fire it the barrel will float. Where do you live? You can email me privately on rob@roballen.co.za
