Spartan Elite Speargun — Aluminum Barrel with Roller Muzzle

Ermes Sub FIGHTER Handle · Patented Double Roller Trigger · Ceramic Bearing Roller Muzzle

Same patented Ermes Sub double roller trigger. Same ceramic bearing roller muzzle. Same stainless steel everything. The Spartan Elite Aluminum delivers identical performance to the Carbon at a more accessible price point — with a rugged open-track aluminum barrel, slide-in nylon track to minimize friction, and the same built-in barrel float system that keeps the gun perfectly balanced with a reel or camera mounted. No plastic in the mechanism. No compromises where it counts.

Roller vs. Conventional Speargun — What It Means Underwater

Roller guns pre-load the bands along the barrel instead of behind the muzzle — storing more energy without increasing draw length. The result: more power, less loading effort, and a lower profile in the water column. The Spartan Elite's ceramic-bearing roller muzzle wrings every bit of stored energy out on every shot.

MAKO Barrel Float — Removable, Included Standard

Takes seconds.

South African Sharkfin Tab Spears — Standard on Every MAKO

Most spearguns ship with notched spears. MAKO doesn't. Sharkfin tabs are 50% stronger because the tab doesn't remove material from the shaft — it adds it. No machined groove to crack under impact. Stainless steel flopper included. Standard on every gun, no upcharge.
