- There are many types of speargun rubbers, all with different purposes in mind. Adreno's Trevor Ketchion takes us through the different types of powerbands for spearfishing and talks about which rubbers works best in different conditions.
The standard USA latex 16mm rubber has a decent internal diamteter hole, standard latex and black UV coating. It has medium stretch with enough reisstance to provide good power. At a medium price, it is a good option for standard spear guns.
The Rob Allen 16mm rubber is quite a tight rubber, good for heavy shafts which require extra power. This high punch isn’t as useful in a roller gun which is better suited to a stretchy, smoother style of rubber.
The standard latex rubber has plenty of stretch and is very smooth with no UV coating. This requires the rubber to be cut shorter to provide the power needed to propel the shaft through the water and is susceptible to wear from sunlight as it is unprotected by UV coating.
The Aimrite pink rubber has become increasingly popular. The smaller internal hole gives extra latex and is protected by a UV coating. It provides slightly more punch than the standard USA latex rubber.
The Salvimar acid green rubber is an incredibly stretchy rubber with a smaller internal diameter hole, black latex and 1mm green UV coating. The extra stretch means cutting the rubber to a third of the length of what you usually would to produce sufficient power. This is great for roller guns in the delivery of lighter shafts as it provides a smoother propulsion for shooting smaller fish accurately.
The Manisub rubber provides smooth delivery of power to the shaft. The larger internal hole reduces the power however the resistance of the latex is still good, with a 1mm thick UV coating. This rubber is good for any gun as well as roller gun as it doesn’t put excess pressure on the roller.

I always use a rubber with my shaft.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂🤣
I see what you did there
Noice!
That was awesome. I had no idea there was so much involved in choosing a rubber
The blue rob Allen ones have lasted me 5 years, continually used, it better than most with sun damage
Luke Cunningham your supposed to replace them a few times a year.
Ive been through loads of different rubbers on various guns. I Ideally stick to the limits of what the rubber is capable of. Match it to the rig you are using. Ideally managing recoil with accuracy is essential.
Thanks Adreno for the info.
I bought a pink cell phone charger so no one would steal it, I've had it so long it wore out. The looks I'd get when I'd lend it out to my co workers were priceless.
Is it too hard to use 12mm*3mm band for 7.5 pole spear. What's the perfect thickness.
Receive some rob allen rubber blue 16 mm good power but it is to had to load I need something a little more progressive.
Which one can last more time using it
Real good video I thank you
Is it possible to order custom diameters?
Thanks for the information. Which salvimar would you recommend for 85cm rollers? 14mm or 16mm
I bought a rubber yellow internal part with black exterior UV coating and easy snapped, each time I dive I experience having trouble in the water with this rubber because of the accidental snap, which of those rubber do you recommend…? I'm using inverted gun with traditional black rubbers.
the last rubber you spoke about where can i get that to purchase
Do you know about the performance of the rob allen snapper 14mm bands in comparison 16 tuna bands?
Rob Allen rubber is ridiculously powerful and equally hard to load
Great rubber explanation! What type of rubber would you recommend on a demultiplied invert roller ?
I personally think that smaller ID and OD rubbers like the cressi brown14 and scarlet15, primeline 14s and 14.5s etc... work way better on the classic band guns, than any 16+ rubber in the market.
I've heard that as well. Currently using a single 16mm on my 90cm pathos. I've heard from a few people now that the better setup would be dual 14.5s
2x14mm on 90 pathos,320%-360% and you'll be surprised with power and accuracy,and recoil ;)
@@petarjelovac5739 what spear diameter is best for the setup?
125cm,6,25mm,320%,2x14mm...for small fish up to 5kg...-2x14mm and 360% stretch is perfect for 125cm,6,5mm...for fish up to 15kg max...-recoil is minimal,so...-good luck ;)
or if you are spearfishing for fish in holes,220%-240%,1x18mm...
Hello Trevor, hello Adreno...
Thank you for the informative videos that Adreno shares with us regularly
I have converted a new Cressi speargun to a roller using MVD head. I used blue Rob Allen 16mm for the bands. For the 90cm gun I cut a pair of rubbers to 60cm each. To be anchored on the sides of the gun and fed through the rollers back to the appropriate shark fin.
I also have black Cressi rubbers, do you think that the black Cressi would perform better than the Rob Allen for the roller?
Before this video, I thought that Rob Allen blue is ideal for rollers. So I guess the pink Aimrite or the Salvimar maybe better for rollers... Where I live options are extremely limited. Ordering from abroad is usually the solution.
@@LuaiGhazali salvimar acid green 16mm or 14mm? Thank you
@@muratcey7584 Thanks, I managed to replace the Rob Allen bands with Salvimar acid green 16mm. That was like 6 years ago 😅. In my experience those are easier to stretch than the Rob Allen, they worked well. Rob Allen bands are very high performance when used in regular (non roller) configuration single or double, in double band they shoot very accurate at longer distances with higher power, they are durable too.
What about pathos TNT rubbers?
Hello sir what is the best rubber and best lenght for my rob allen 140cm tuna railgun heavy shaft?
Ahhh no love for the 14.5 small ID.
Hii can i ask if you know about the elastic rubber 16mm how i will cut for speargun 95cm .What coefficient has? S400 green
When you talk about European guns etc, what are the differences between guns please?
jonnywaselectric Euro guns are meant for hunting fish under 10 pounds and are light and somwhat accurate but do not have the puncturing power of a railgun. They use smaller shafts (6.0-7.5mm) thinner barrels and don’t have a shaft guide. They are perfect for small, agile and easily spooked fish aka the Mediterranean in a nut shell.
Rail guns are basically a bigger euro gun with a shaft guide (the rail that holds the shaft). This style of gun is used for hunting larger fish.
which single band is better for 120 cm ,6,5mm spear?, Thank you!
How about sporasub greenshoot? Interested with multi layer rubber
is primeline 14mm rubber prograssive or not ?? plz help
Hey I got a mares 110 speargun with 2x rubbers what do u think would be the best rubbers to use thanks
Buy the 14mm salvimar the green one and a 16mm r the standard black or the res
Have you heard of the Rob Allen bands not being good for warmer water? My local shop was telling me they aren’t and replaced mine with the natural un coated rubber.
They played you bro
Rob Allen made rubbers for the Indian Ocean. Warm waters already
@@reecerodrigues1127 I had a feeling because it sounded ridiculous but I thought I’d ask. Thank you.
I like the rubber, how can I get that rubber and how much, please answer my question!?
Good
Hi! I bought Salvimar s400 14mm rubber.. how long should I cut it for 105cm speargun?
Kris Spearfisherh

Good question, i also would like to know what type of rubber.
What would be the best setup for a pathos 82 open? Currently I have a 16mm standard black rubber but I have been thinking about getting dual 14.5mm because people tend to recommend it a lot
18mm,220%-240% or 2x14mm 320%
Hi Adreno, it is possible to import the Rubbers ?
14 mill for any shaft at 7mm under 150cm trust me

Hi Eli, you can check out our range of Speargun rubbers here: spearfishing.com.au/collections/rigging-speargun-rubber

To rig/setup your rubber homeade
Hello sir what is the best Rubber for Rob allen 140cm gun? Heavy shaft.
Blue one, if any doubt go to rob allen site and check the specs of your speargun model an size.
Hi I'm a entry level spearo What rubbers would you recommend on a 90cm railgun it currently has 2x 16 mm premium latex rubbers on it I find it difficult to load them to the first of 3 shark fin notches the bands are 60cm long each unstreched maybe I just need to start lifting lol
Hi Shannon, for a 90cm railgun we'd recommend two 60cm rubbers of standard latex which is what you already have. As a beginner, it does take a little while to get the technique of loading down pat
Adreno Spearfishing ok thanks I'm doing the hip load technique I'm not real keen on trying the chest load just yet I had a completely collapsed lunge on my right hand side back in 2014 and because of that I only shore dive 10m and under here on the mid north coast I was advised against diving at all by my specialist for at least 6months and even after that there is still the chance it could happen again but I love diving too dam much to just let it all go if I'm going out it's doing what I like best and drowning isn't as scary as all think it is it's very peaceful I almost drowned in when I was little I was pushed in by some little brat and all I remember of it was reaching for the surface looking up at the light reflection on the water while I was sinking and I wasn't afraid it was really calming just as I was about to shut my eyes I then got scooped up by someone and saved it was an experience I will never forget about so yeah drowning is the least of my worries really I more afraid of getting eaten by narks now that on the other hand would be a bad way to go
use durex rubbers with riffles and extra lubrication.
what is the best rubber can used for 6' pole spear?
Fadi Azrai I thinner one, there are certain ones for poles 🤙🏼
