How To Set Up a Speargun Reel | ADRENO

In this how-to episode, Adreno's Sam Cox outlines the steps to set up a reel for your speargun. Reel guns are useful for many hunting situations to mix up your diving. They have become extremely popular amongst spearfishers for the freedom they offer the diver, but it is also important to consider when it is and is not appropriate to use a reel over a float line.

Ensure that your reel can fit your gun. You’ll need scissors, a snap clip and D-shackle, a lighter, a reel line and the reel.

Firstly, you mount the reel to the gun using the reel rail. To attach the line to the reel, you pass the line through the reel and tie a stopper knot as shown in the video. Once you’ve done this you wind the line in applying pressure to the line and spreading it evenly across the reel to wrap up the line neatly.

Attach your D-shackle to the end of the barrel and loop the line through the D-shackle. Then attach it to the snap clip using the knotting technique shown by Sam in the video. Melt the end of the line with a lighter to prevent it from fraying.

Slide the shaft into the gun and attach the shaft line to the snap clip, making up for lost tension at the reel.

Remember to always use a float when using a reel!
