The Andre Spearguns IRONWOOD MIDHANDLE is a midhandle speargun giving you more maneuverability. The mechanism and shaft sit at the end of the speargun allowing for more band stretch giving more power. The hardwood laminate layers on the IRONWOOD MIDHANDLE are laminated from side-to-side, giving the IRONWOOD MIDHANDLE a wide body, with a narrow vertical build. This wide design adds weight to the speargun to decrease muzzle kick & increase accuracy. Furthermore, the sleek design offers less drag while tracking the fish. The IRONWOOD is sandwiched between two paduk laminates to create the ideal weight for a ballasted speargun.
