What are good replacement spears for the Cressi Geronimo Elite?...besides Cressi.
I just lost my first Geronimo Elite spear. Cressi is a beautiful gun, but the parts are pretty hard to get, so I was wondering if a Rob Allen, AB Biller or other noteworthy replacement spear would work well?

hey MX I have a Cressi Geronimo that I use at the jetties and close rigs. Last year I bent my shaft and was in the market alot like you are now. Anyhow I went with Mako's spear. It works great for the gun but I will let you know I had to shave down the half moon so the spear would lock in. Hope this helps

I'm in a similar situation. I'm looking for a thread shaft to use with a slip tip on my Elite 105cm. I'm going with a Mako.

Rob Allen shafts would work perfectly for your gun. You can get them from 6.6 to 7.5mm. Id personally stick with a 7mm or 9/32 spear with that gun
You can order them from freediveshop.com or roballendiving.com Rob Allen also makes threaded shafts too sold on freediveshop web site!!! Good luck. |

I would get either a 6.6 mm RA or a 7 mm one size shorter. Otherwise, you'll end up unbalancing your gun and will become too nose heavy.
If your speargun is open muzzle, go with a sharkfins/pins shaft. If it is closed muzzle, you might need to change the wishbones since metal wishbones that come with european guns don't engage very well in South African notched shafts. Keep in mind that you want to buy a shaft 40 cm longer than your nominal gun measure. 30 cm if you go with 7 mm. |

When it comes to shafts it's best to get it right the first time. Rob Allen's are renowned for being some of the best in the world. At around $40 it's an easy decision. :)

Go with the shark fin shafts change your muzzle to open if necessary. if you can get titanium or spring steel shaft. Stainless shafts bend with not to much effort from a large fish. They are pretty easy to get fairly straight again after being bent. Grooved shafts will snap at the grove when a big fish holes up or takes off between some rocks.

I picked up a custom gun with a cressi comanche handle. Tried both a rob allen and a mako shaft. Only the mako shaft worked.

I walked into Neptonics in SC and picked up a Rob Allen shaft for my Cressi Geronimo Elite. Love it.
