Spartan Elite Speargun — Carbon Barrel with Roller Muzzle

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

The MAKO Spartan Elite is not an entry-level speargun — it's the result of obsessive engineering built for divers who demand the best. Developed in partnership with Ermes Sub (Italy), it combines a full-carbon Winged Cuttlefish barrel, the strongest trigger mechanism ever installed on a Euro speargun, and a ceramic-bearing roller muzzle into one devastatingly accurate setup. No compromises. No plastic in the mechanism. No peer.

Why the Spartan Elite Wins — Feature by Feature

• Patented Ermes Sub Double Roller Trigger (100% Stainless Steel) — Two inner roller wheels eliminate friction and grinding entirely, delivering the same crisp trigger pull regardless of band tension. Tested to over 1,250 lbs. No plastic anywhere in the mechanism.
• Ceramic Bearing Roller Muzzle — Quad ceramic bearings maximize spear velocity. Includes left and right overwrap tabs. Swaps to an open muzzle in seconds — no tools required.
• Winged Cuttlefish Carbon Barrel — Superlight, super-strong, and perfectly balanced. Carbon construction keeps swing weight low for faster target acquisition underwater.
• MAKO Barrel Float — Adds the buoyancy needed to keep heavier roller setups and reel-rigged guns perfectly trim in the water column.
• Ermes Sub FIGHTER Ergonomic Handle — High-hand positioning geometry increases aim consistency. Comfortable EZ Load butt. Available in Black, White, and Blue. No-pain, no-slip loading pad.
• Stainless Steel Side Line Release — Holds a double wrap of 300 lb mono securely. Not plastic — never fails mid-dive.
• Built-In Reel Mount — Switch from no-reel to reel-ready in seconds with the optional Rapid Mount dovetail bracket.
• South African Sharkfin Tab Spears — Standard on every MAKO at no extra charge. 50% stronger than notched spears — no machined groove to crack under impact.
• MAKO Power Bands by Primeline USA — Made to order on your purchase date for maximum power. Twin 14.5mm small-ID on guns up to 120cm; triple bands on 130cm. Does not degrade like imported latex.
• Rapid Band Change Corded Wishbones — Band swaps take seconds. Safer than metal wishbones. No muzzle slots required.
• 300 lb Abrasion-Resistant Shooting Line — Heavy-duty mono, pre-rigged and ready.
• South African Muzzle Bungee — Included on all guns configured without a reel.
• GoPro Camera Bracket Ready — Accepts the optional MAKO Rapid Deployment Camera Bracket.
• Fish Call Ready — Accepts the optional MAKO Fish Call.
• Two-Year Warranty — On all parts except spear and bands.

Ermes Sub Double Roller Trigger — The Strongest Mech Ever Built for a Euro Gun

• Tested to over 1,250 lbs — no Euro trigger comes close.
• Two internal roller wheels eliminate friction and grinding — no more missed shots from inconsistent pulls.
• Same crisp trigger feel at full band tension as at low tension.
• Switchable left or right side line release — holds a double wrap of 300 lb mono without slipping.
• 100% stainless steel. Zero plastic.

Dano breaks down the double roller vs. standard triggers.

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.

Side-by-side power and speed comparison.

Two loading methods — under 3 minutes.

High-Performance Roller Muzzle with Ceramic Bearings

• Quad ceramic bearings for maximum spear velocity on every shot.
• Left and right overwrap tabs — works for any hand dominance.
• Holds twin 16mm or twin 14.5mm small-ID bands.
• Converts to open muzzle — no tools, seconds to swap.
• Single or Double roller option; shark spikes available on Double.

Ermes Sub FIGHTER Handle — Built for Accuracy

• High-hand positioning geometry raises grip relative to the barrel for more natural aim alignment underwater.
• Ergonomic shape fits the hand naturally under pressure.
• Stabilizer fin for right-handed divers — included.
• EZ Load butt — no pain, no slip, even in gloves.
• Accepts optional reel, camera bracket, and fish call.

Built-In Reel Mount

The Spartan Elite handle features a built-in vertical reel mount on the trigger guard. Pair it with the optional Rapid Mount dovetail bracket and go from no-reel to reel-ready in seconds — no tools, no fumbling between drops.

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.

MAKO Power Bands — Made to Order

Every set is manufactured by Primeline USA and cut on your purchase date — not sitting in a warehouse losing elasticity. Roller guns up to 120cm get twin 16mm standard-ID bands; 130cm gets triple. Primeline domestic latex does not degrade like imported alternatives.
