"a bit of rubber and a sharp pointy bit" AMEN. I love my Cressi 75cm, no thrills, gets the job done. had it for years. I don't think the brand/gun matters, it's all about getting familiar with your gun and knowing how it handles and shoots.
This is SO true. I started spearfishing in the Med with a very cheap gun, cheap wetsuit, reasonable mask and flippers. It forced me to dive deep, have a good breath-hold and learn to read the fish. I had no money to spend on expensive gear. YET, I enjoyed it so much and caught so many fish and octopus. (Sadly now I'm fat, unhealthy, can't freedive so well, still poor and still believe in spearfishing on a low budget!)
great video Gordon, as always! enjoyed you questioning what the bass think haha
Haha! Yeah - it's the important question!

Totally, it's much more about the person and skills than the equipment!
