Reliable Tools to Recover and Repair Spearfishing Shafts
Pescador Sub continues to develop practical and efficient tools for spearfishing, and its range of shaft extractors and straighteners is a perfect example of functional design combined with accessibility. Designed and produced in Europe, these tools are aimed at solving one of the most common and frustrating problems in spearfishing: stuck or bent shafts.
High Quality Materials and Construction
The Pescador shaft extractors are manufactured using high-quality 316 stainless steel with a thickness of 3 mm, ensuring excellent resistance and durability even in the most demanding conditions. The components are laser cut and press bent, while the edges are carefully rounded after cutting to avoid injuries during use. The handle is covered with a rubber layer that significantly improves grip and comfort, especially when wearing gloves or operating in challenging underwater conditions.
Complete Range with Different Sizes and Weights
The range is particularly complete, offering multiple sizes to adapt to different needs. The shortest version measures 7 cm, followed by an 11 cm long version, and extends up to an extra long 56 cm model designed for specific situations. The weight remains well balanced across the range, with the Short version at 95 grams, the Long at 110 grams, and the Extra Long reaching 230 grams, still maintaining excellent handling underwater.
Standard shaft extractors feature a rubber-coated handle and an elastic lace, allowing easy positioning on the arm. Versions equipped with the shaft straightening system do not include the rubber cover but maintain the elastic lace, while the longest 56 cm extractor includes the rubber grip but not the lace, as it is not intended to be worn on the arm.
Integrated Shaft Straightening System
One of the most interesting features is the integration of the shaft straightening system in selected models. These include three holes with diameters of 6, 6.5 and 7 mm, designed to insert the shaft tip down to the barb pin, which is typically the weakest point and the most prone to bending after a strong shot.
By positioning the tool at the deformation point, it becomes possible to apply controlled force through the handle and restore the shaft to a nearly perfect straight condition. This function is essential to continue spearfishing without interruption.
Efficient Shaft Extraction System
The shaft extraction system itself is equally effective and fundamental. By connecting the extractor to the rear of the shaft and rotating it along its axis, the barb closes, allowing the shaft to be pulled out even when it is deeply stuck in rocks or inside dens.
This prevents the loss of expensive shafts and avoids stopping the spearfishing action prematurely.
Environmental Benefit
Beyond practicality, these tools also have an environmental benefit. When a shaft remains stuck in a den, fish tend to abandon that habitat. Being able to retrieve the shaft helps preserve the natural balance of the area and reduces unnecessary impact on the underwater environment.
Price and Availability
Pescador Sub offers these tools at a very accessible price point, maintaining its philosophy of delivering high functionality at competitive costs. On the official website, the Short version is priced at €10, the Long version at €14, and the Extra Long version at €20.
The handle is available in several colors, including red, black, yellow, and white, the latter being particularly useful for visibility in case the tool is accidentally lost on the seabed.
Conclusion
Pescador shaft extractors and straighteners represent a smart investment for any spearfisher looking to improve efficiency, reduce equipment loss, and extend time in the water. Simple, effective, and well-designed, they perfectly reflect the practical approach that defines Pescador Sub products.
