Benthos Draco is an exceptional speargun that merges together two worlds. A European style speargun, with a pair of bands that are held in a closed loop head, parallel to the shaft and a through-hole band style speargun, usually a wooden one, at which the bands are inclined in respect to the shaft. Both ways have been adopted mainly for ease of production for the different type of spearguns i.e., railguns and wooden spearguns, and come with advantages and disadvantages.
Made out of a 4-laminate stock.
Benthos Spearguns offers a hybrid of the two designs, that maximizes the advantages and eliminates the disadvantages. The first set of bands-right at the front end of the speargun-is held on an open head design, the has no closed loop for the shaft to pass through. This eliminates any interference of the head with the shaft. As a result, the shaft always travels uninhibited until it exits the speargun. The line is used to secure the shaft onto its rail prior to shooting.
Another very important issue, is that this pair of bands does not come in contact with anything else along its way when firing. This means zero friction between the bands and the fuselage and zero “lost” energy.
But probably the most important advantage of Draco is its unsurpassed field of view. Along with Benthos Spearguns wishbones, all bands, whatever their number, sit one next to each other. This neat arrangement of bands, which does not protrude over the “horizon” of the field of view, creates a “channel” for the shaft to pass through. All you need to do is to bring the target in front of the “extension” of your shaft and pull the trigger. You will be amazed by the precision you can achieve with a Benthos Speargun!
Benthos Draco, a speargun that connects instinctively with his/her owner! Target acquisition and precision has never been easier. Your trustful companion in the reef and in the ocean.
Its trademark characteristic, the open head design, will enable you to improve your confidence in shooting in greater distances and faster fish.
