MAKO / Primeline Speargun Bands (14.5mm Small ID)
SOLD BY THE FOOT: 14.5mm Small ID tubing is fast becoming the most preferred speargun tubing in the world and MAKO Spearguns power bands are recognized worldwide as the best speargun power bands available. They are produced for us by Primeline Industries of Akron, Ohio.
If it is not made by Primeline, it is an inferior speargun power band.
NOTE: All MAKO Speargun bands are made of 100% genuine Primeline Industries latex tubing from Akron, Ohio.
Band Selection Guide
- We recommend "14.5mm small ID" bands (for open, closed muzzles and double roller muzzles) — they provide optimal balance between power and ease of loading, which translates to better accuracy and penetration.
- For easier loading, add 2" (less power).
- For more power, subtract 1" to 2" (harder to load).
- "14.5mm small ID" tubing has approximately the same power as "16mm standard ID" tubing.
- "16mm standard ID" has just a little more power.
- "14.5mm small ID" is slightly easier to load.
Warning: Do not over power your spear. Too much power will cause your spear to bend and lose accuracy.

Removable Ink Logo Ensures 100% Genuine Primeline
Warning: The quality of MAKO Spearguns power bands is so high that there are reports of counterfeit MAKO Power Bands being sold. We now print our removable ink logo directly on our tubing, ensuring you receive 100% Genuine Primeline latex tubing made specifically for MAKO Spearguns.
Custom gun builders — don't worry! The MAKO logo is easily removable.
So you get the highest quality tubing without our branding.
So you get the highest quality tubing without our branding.
Warning: Not all latex tubing is the same. If it is not made by Primeline it is lower quality latex. Primeline avoids the mastication process used by other manufacturers by using only liquid latex. Their continuous dip process results in a superior base product with greater tear resistance — an essential characteristic for speargun band performance. This process is far more time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the result is the best speargun power bands available.
We use only the highest quality factories and materials for all of our spearfishing and freediving gear. And because we sell direct to divers — not through dive shops — we can offer them for less.
