Why Choose a Handmade Wooden Speargun?

Handmade wooden spearguns, like those crafted by Sectus in Greece, offer a unique combination of functionality, durability, and craftsmanship. Made entirely by hand with the utmost attention to detail, Sectus spearguns are designed to meet the needs of both beginners and experienced spearfishers. With a variety of models and sizes, each one is tailored to achieve a perfect balance between performance and ease of use in the water.

Superior Craftsmanship and Innovation

With years of experience in woodworking, the artisans at Sectus have honed their craft, shaping each piece of wood to its optimal form. This meticulous attention to detail not only enhances the aesthetics of the spearguns but also maximizes their functionality. Sectus incorporates several unique innovations to improve shooting performance and overall effectiveness, ensuring that every speargun delivers precision and power.

Advantages of Wooden Spearguns Over Other Materials

When it comes to speargun materials, wood stands out for several reasons. Compared to other materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, wood offers exceptional advantages:

• Solid Construction: Wooden spearguns are robust, with a dense, solid structure that holds up well to underwater pressures.

• Natural Buoyancy: Wood’s inherent buoyancy makes it easier to handle underwater .
• Enhanced Mass and Reduced Recoil: The higher mass of wood reduces recoil significantly, making for a smoother, more controlled shot. This reduced recoil contributes to better aim and accuracy.
• Stiffness for Precision Shooting: Wooden spearguns are less prone to bending or flexing under load, meaning energy transfer during firing is more direct, resulting in powerful and fast shots.

Teak Wood: The Ideal Material for Marine Environments

Sectus spearguns are crafted from Burmese teak, renowned for its exceptional durability and water-resistant properties. Teak’s high density and natural oils make it highly resistant to moisture and saltwater, protecting it from swelling, warping, and decay. As a result, teak is the premier choice for spearfishing gear and ensures that Sectus spearguns endure harsh marine environments while maintaining performance and appearance over time.

High-Quality Components for Optimal Performance

Every aspect of a Sectus speargun is carefully selected and rigorously tested. The spearguns feature premium-grade stainless steel parts, some of which are handmade from 316 marine-grade stainless steel to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater. Additionally, each model comes equipped with high-quality rubbers and shafts, specifically chosen chosen and tested for ideal ballistics, ensuring that every shot is both powerful and accurate. 

Easy Maintenance for Long-Lasting Performance

Maintaining a Sectus wooden speargun is straightforward and requires minimal time or tools. Following these simple steps can keep the speargun in top condition:

• Clean and Dry: After each use, ensure the speargun is thoroughly cleaned and dried.
• Apply Teak Oil: Use a clean cloth to apply a small amount of teak oil across the surface of the wood. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes, allowing the wood to absorb the oil.
• Wipe Off Excess Oil: After the past of that time, use another clean cloth to wipe away any remaining oil.

This process, which takes around 20 minutes, should ideally be done 1-2 times a year, depending on usage frequency.

Conclusion: The Timeless Appeal of a Handmade Wooden Speargun

A wooden speargun crafted by Sectus is more than just a tool; it’s an investment in quality, precision, and tradition. The robust build, minimal recoil, and unmatched buoyancy of wood combine to offer an unparalleled underwater experience. Whether you’re a seasoned spearfisher or new to the sport, a handcrafted wooden speargun from Sectus promises reliable performance, exquisite craftsmanship, and a connection to a tradition of marine innovation.
