Do yourself a favor and get a MAKO or a Rob Allen or something similar. The JBL will kill some fish for sure - I've shot tons with mine before giving it away to a newb friend.

In MY world any of the old style JBL's are pure junk. They have however recently come out with some more modernized better looking guns - The price is more modern too though! For my money I'll go with a well known euro style gun every time.

If that's Ur only option buy a rail for it for around 15$ well worth money but its still a jbl.... get a rail and kill as many fish as you can

JBL is known for making crap spearguns. I'm surprised they're still in business.

They have no power, and their shafts are too thick .

Simple answer...they are cheap and shoot fish. I have shot literally hundreds of fish with my $70 carbine without any problem.

Yes they shoot fish, but when you compare them to all the other companies, they are inferior in many ways

I think so many of you fail to realize jbl has,PRICE POINT don't bash a guy of thats what he wants to invest in a gun. Jbls work not as good or quality as others but we come back to price point. They can get the job done

I have the super carbine. Main issue i had is trigger malfunction. sometimes it wont fire when you press the trigger. it has happened about 4 times during 15 different dives.

I just got a magnum 450 tho. If you can spent a little more buy something different.

great perch and carp gun, but not much else

Get a Rob Allen. They are just a little more expensive than the Makos and are leaps and bounds better than JBL and much better than Mako. I have a mako and have used RA and know many people who have them. Save up a little longer and it will save you much frustration in the future.

Single-piece trigger in the "Carbine" models limits the amount of band pull that can be used with the gun. Not a show-stopper, but means that the gun has to be used with the stock bands. An entry level gun for those starting out and want to buy something made in the US.

If you're set on jbl go with one of their elite woodies
