Rigging Speargun

I recently recieved my Picasso Atlas and it did not come with any crimps or bungee.
I was wondering if it was possible to rig this speargun with these
Thanks everyone

Re: Rigging Speargun

Generally spearguns are rigged with monofilament line connected by crimps to the shaft and to the gun and a bungee in between this part. The bungee is not totally necessary, but good to have. While it is possible to to shoot the shaft without a connection to the gun, I would not recommend that you try it as a beginner. At the very least you should use the best string you can get a hold of. Even better, visit a speargun shop and spend a few bucks to get it properly rigged. A tackle shop with heavy equipment might work as well if you can't get to the former. Good luck. I hope that this is what you meant.

Thanks heaps for your reply
It came with some kind of rope but that's it so I was wondering if just attaching the rope to the shaft with knots
