Premium Spearguns: Rob Allen and Salvimar Rail Guns Compared
Rail guns dominate serious spearfishing because the integral rail stiffens the barrel and lines the shaft up with the mechanism and muzzle, producing repeatable accuracy. The three guns below cover three budgets.
Rob Allen Sniper Camo Rail Gun: Lifetime Warranty All-Rounder
The Sniper Camo is the gun we hand to newcomers and veterans alike. Its aircraft-grade aluminium barrel has a 1.45mm wall thickness, and the integral rail is part of the barrel itself, increasing stiffness and cutting flex. The 7mm carbon spring steel spear rates 50 to 52 on the Rockwell C scale and 2000 to 2100 MPA, resisting bending better than most shafts at this price.
Salvimar Hero Railgun: Multi-Band Versatility
Step up to $569.00 and the Hero gives you a Teflon shaft guide, an elliptical aircraft-grade aluminium barrel, and a Heavy Metal 350 trigger mechanism rated to a 350kg muzzle load. The open multi-band muzzle ships with a bridge that converts it to a closed muzzle, and two 14mm Italian latex bands with quick-release dyneema bridles come factory-fitted. The attached reel and enlarged profile improve hydrostatic trim for caves, reefs or bluewater.
Salvimar Chameleon Speargun: Best Value Italian Rail Gun
At $229.00 the Chameleon is the value pick, and it does not feel like a compromise. The lightweight aluminium barrel and ergonomic handle make it easy to manoeuvre, while the open muzzle gives clean aiming. The 16mm acid green rubber is stiffer than the older version, hitting harder but loading heavier; swap in a second band for more range. The 6.5mm Sandvik stainless shaft is strong and rust resistant, and the reverse trigger mech with side-mount line release keeps shooting simple. Best for inshore reef
Best Carbon Fibre Spearfishing Fins and Blade Options
Blade material decides how much energy you burn on every kick. Plastic blades are forgiving but flex too much under load, fibreglass sits in the middle, and carbon fibre is the lightest and most responsive
- Cressi Gara Modular Impulse Fins ($299.95): the foot pocket takes any standard fibreglass or carbon fibre long blade, swapped in minutes with no modification. The 29-degree blade angle delivers efficient kicks, and anti-slip water rails stop water escaping sideways.
Rob Allen Scorpia Evo Fins ($159.00): a moulded rubber foot pocket balances comfort and power transfer, with side rails improving transmission. A sensible first serious pair
Wetsuits, Masks and Snorkels: Fit, Warmth and Hydrodynamics
- Salvimar Nebula 5.5mm Two-Piece ($600.00): open-cell lining, sealed seams, internal coated layer and medium-density neoprene. The soft skin exterior reduces drag, and PUFFGUM reinforcement protects wear points.
- Cressi Seppia 3.5mm ($499.00): a semi open-cell Metallite lining that retains and reflects heat, but slides on without lube and resists fingernail cuts. Extra panelling across the chest, back and arms improves mobility.
- Salvimar Sea Walker Lady 3.5mm ($385.00): cut for the female figure with more room in the bust and hips and a slimmer waist. Q-FOAM open-cell neoprene, Puff Gum on the chest and knees, and a thicker loading pad.
- Cressi Nano Masks ($139.95): minimal internal volume that needs no intentional equalisation, angled tempered glass for peripheral vision, and swivel buckles with micrometric adjustment.
Maintaining Spearfishing Gear: Longevity, Rigging and ROI
High end spearfishing gear pays for itself through longevity, but only if you maintain it.
The maintenance routine that actually matters:
Rob Allen Sniper Camo Rail Gun →
- Rinse everything in fresh water after every saltwater session. Salt crystallises in trigger mechanisms and corrodes spear tips.
- Strip and inspect the gun mechanism every few months. Clear grit from the housing, and confirm the line release returns freely.
- Check the spear for burrs and straightness. Roll it on a flat surface. Dress burrs with a fine stone, not a grinder.
- Re-tie wishbones before they look worn.
- Lubricate open-cell suits before every wear. A dilute hair conditioner or dedicated suit lube protects the lining and makes the suit last seasons longer.
- Store rubber bands out of UV light. A dark bag extends band life significantly.
How to Choose High End Spearfishing Gear for Sale in 2026
Match the gear to the diving you actually do, not the diving you imagine.
Work through these questions in order:
- What depth and habitat? Shallow inshore reef suits a shorter, more manoeuvrable gun. Bluewater needs power and reach.
- What water temperature? Match suit thickness to your coldest realistic session, not the average.
- How often will you dive? Frequent divers should buy for durability. Occasional divers can prioritise fit and value.
- What is your kick technique? Plastic or fibreglass blades first, carbon once your form is consistent.
- What can you service? Modular fins and guns with accessible mechanisms are easier to maintain long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
What defines high end spearfishing gear?
High end spearfishing gear is defined by materials and build quality rather than price alone. Aircraft grade aluminium or carbon barrels, Rockwell-hardened spring steel spears, Italian latex bands and open cell neoprene all separate premium kit from entry-level. The Rob Allen Sniper Camo Rail Gun, for example, uses a 7mm carbon spring steel spear rated 50 to 52 Rockwell C with a lifetime warranty. Interchangeable blade systems, sealed seams and reinforced loading pads are other markers of professional-grade equipment.
Is it worth spending more on carbon fibre spearfishing fins?
Carbon fibre blades are lighter and return more energy per kick, which matters most on deep dives or long surface swims. The catch is that carbon blades suit a diver with decent technique; beginners often get more from a forgiving plastic or fibreglass blade. The Cressi Gara Modular Impulse Fins solve this by letting you swap blades as your skills grow, from plastic through fibreglass to lightweight carbon, without replacing the whole fin. That modular path usually works out cheaper than buying twice.
What safety gear is mandatory for spearfishing in local waters?
Check your local fisheries authority before you dive. A weighted rubber weight belt with a quick-release buckle is also essential so you can ditch ballast in an emergency. Never dive alone, and always fly the flag within the required distance of your float.
How often should I service my high-end spearfishing equipment?
Rinse everything in fresh water after every saltwater session, and strip and lubricate the trigger mechanism every few months if you dive often. Replace rubber bands roughly every 12 months, or sooner if they look chalky or lose stretch. Check shooting line and monofilament for nicks before each trip. A speargun with a simple, accessible mechanism, like the Rob Allen Sniper, is far easier to keep grit-free and working reliably over many seasons.
How do I choose the right speargun for my skill level?
Match barrel length and band setup to the visibility and species you hunt. Inshore reef and shallow water up to about 15 metres suits a shorter rail gun with a single 16mm rubber, such as the Salvimar Chameleon at $229.00. Open water or cave work calls for a longer, multi-band gun like the Salvimar Hero Railgun at $569.00. Beginners should start with one band and a forgiving trigger, then add power as accuracy improves.
Choosing high end spearfishing gear is really a decision about how many seasons you want out of it. Cheap gear costs less on the day and more over the years.
