Quality of the bands
Do you have experience with SPEARIT 16 mm circular bands? Are they ok?
I want to try them so I want to know is it worth to order it from Florida? Bands that I sow are on the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-8-16mm-O-D...item3a4ed95ae3 Thank you for reply. |

Re: Quality of the bands
I use that rubber. Very elastic, easier to load and helps with recoil.

Re: Quality of the bands
I use the black over amber stuff and it is very good. I especially like the 3/4" rubber for use on single banded euros.

Re: Quality of the bands
Yes they are a great resource and their rubber is good too. I like the 15mm stuff they sell as well.

Re: Quality of the bands
Thank you for reply.
It is cheap, so if it is good as you wrote, I must test it! |

It seems you are from Croatia and if so, then maybe the amber is a better fit for your type of spearfishing. Jon at spearitco says that he keeps amber colored bands because Croatians always ask for it. Somehow it seems that the black bands spook fish in Croatia. Personally I prefer the black over amber as they give better UV protection for the rubber. As for the Primeline being better than the spearitco stuff ... I don't think so. I use both and they are both very good. |
