FAQs

Got questions about our gear, materials, or how to place an order? Below you'll find answers to the most common questions we receive from spearfishers and wholesale partners around the world.

What products does Spearfishing Factory offer?

We manufacture a full range of spearfishing equipment, including carbon fiber roller pole spears, traditional pole spears, 17-4PH stainless steel and carbon spring steel speargun shafts, Hawaiian slings, slip tips, rubber bands, wishbones, and fishing stringers.

Every product is engineered for performance in demanding marine environments and tested rigorously before it ships.

What materials do you use, and why should I trust their durability?

Our speargun shafts are built from 17-4PH precipitation-hardened stainless steel, an alloy chosen for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand repeated loading at depth. Our pole spears use aerospace-grade carbon fiber, which delivers superior stiffness and lightweight handling while resisting saltwater corrosion. Every unit undergoes endurance testing before leaving the factory.

How do I choose between a 17-4PH stainless steel shaft and a carbon spring steel shaft?

17-4PH stainless steel offers the best corrosion resistance and long-term durability, making it ideal for saltwater hunters who want minimal maintenance. 

Carbon spring steel shafts are typically harder and can offer slightly more penetrating power, but they require more care to prevent rust. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize low maintenance or maximum rigidity.

I'm new to spearfishing. Should I start with a pole spear or a speargun?

Pole spears are widely recommended as the best starting point for beginners. They have no trigger mechanism, a shorter effective range, and are simpler to handle, which makes them safer while you build your skills. They're also more affordable, typically ranging from $80 to $500, so you can invest in quality gear without a large upfront commitment.

What is a roller pole spear, and what advantage does it give me?

A roller pole spear uses a pulley or roller system at the tip to redirect the band's force, allowing for a longer effective band stretch without increasing the overall length of the spear. This translates to more power and range from a compact setup. It's a popular choice among experienced spearfishers who want increased performance in tight reef environments or blue water.

When should I use a slip tip instead of a fixed tip?

Slip tips are designed for targeting large, powerful fish. When the tip penetrates, it detaches from the shaft and toggles inside the fish, preventing pull-out during a fight. You'll need a float-line setup to use a slip tip safely. This is specialized gear best suited for advanced spearfishers who are comfortable managing a float line and fighting strong fish at depth.

Do you offer OEM and ODM services for retailers and distributors?

Yes. We are a factory-direct manufacturer with full OEM and ODM capabilities. 

Retailers, distributors, and spearfishing brands can order custom-branded gear in bulk, with options for tailored specifications such as shaft diameters, tip configurations, and personalized branding. Contact us directly to discuss your project requirements and minimum order quantities.

How does your pricing compare to other spearfishing brands?

Because we sell factory-direct, we cut out middlemen and pass those savings on to you. 

You get the same high-grade materials (17-4PH stainless steel, carbon fiber) and precision craftsmanship found in premium brands, at significantly more competitive prices. Our 4.79-star rating across over 2,300 verified customer reviews reflects that lower cost does not mean lower quality.

What are your shipping terms and delivery times?

We offer worldwide shipping on all orders, Shipping times vary by destination, but we ship globally and provide tracking on every order so you can monitor your gear from our factory to your door.

What is your return or warranty policy if something arrives damaged?

Every product we ship passes rigorous quality control and endurance testing. If your order arrives damaged or defective, reach out to our support team with photos and your order details, and we'll work to resolve the issue promptly. For specific warranty terms or questions about a particular product, contact us directly through our website.
