One of the most important pieces of gear you need is a spearfishing weight belt. When I’m spearfishing, I almost always wear a wetsuit to stay warm, but this can make spearfishing a little tricky. Because your wetsuit will cause you to float. And if you’re sporting a proper spearfishing wetsuit, you’re going to struggle […]

The first time I held a speargun in my hands I felt invincible. It was a big step up from the pole spear I’d been using to go spearfishing, and it took my game to a whole new level. But I also made a few mistakes. Max Spearfishing is reader-supported. We may earn a small […]
When I’m travelling, finding the best roof racks for spearguns to keep mine close, secure and out of sight has always been a challenge. And after getting two guns stolen from our camp a few months ago, I wanted to build a permanent solution that’d securely pack these away at night. Because the jackals had […]
I used to have all sorts of trouble finding a beginner’s spearfishing mask. You’d be shocked at how many I went through when learning to spearfish. Because I really struggled to find a mask for beginners with the perfect fit. Perhaps I’m just fussy (or a little like Goldilocks). But I’d rather replace a wrong […]
I started spearfishing with a pole spear, a mask and a pair of snorkeling fins. These days, I have a lot more spearfishing equipment, but I also catch a lot more fish. For a beginner, the amount of spearfishing gear you need to go spearing can seem overwhelming. Then there’s all the different brands, and […]
Catching a fish is one thing. But it’s not really yours until you’ve made it back to the boat or dry land. In the meantime, you need to use a spearfishing stringer to secure your catch. When I first started I always used a net bag. It was only a few dollars from my local […]
The first time I strapped a dive knife for spearfishing to my leg I felt invincible. I was 15 years old, and it was a second-hand blade I picked up at a garage sale for $2. Unlucky for me it wasn’t actually all that secure in the sheath, and it promptly slid out to be […]
To me, having a knife when you’re spearfishing is just common sense. I dived into the why it’s important in a previous article, but today I want to explain how to choose the best spearfishing knife. Because there’s just so much choice. And if you choose wrong, it could end up costing you. Max Spearfishing […]
Like many of my friends, the first investment I made into my spearfishing hobby was a pole spear. It wasn’t the best pole spear in the market, in fact I bought it for $5 from a neighbor’s yard sale. The prongs were bent, and the rubber snapped on me after a few dives, but it […]
