Rob Allen Snapper 120cm Speargun
The Dive360 Take
The Snapper 120 is worth a look when your usual diving gives you enough visibility and space to use a longer gun comfortably. Its aluminium railed barrel, twin 14mm rubbers and 7mm shaft make it a practical setup for general NZ spearfishing in clearer conditions.
The rail runs along the barrel to support the shaft. At 120cm, this is a gun to choose around the water you actually hunt in; use the guide below to weigh up reach against manoeuvrability.

| Speargun length | Best suited to | Typical NZ use |
|---|---|---|
| Under 75 cm | Tight spaces & close-range hunting | Cray holes, caves, shallow reef and dirty water. Compact and easy to manoeuvre when visibility is limited. |
| 75 cm – 1 m | Reef & weed-line hunting | Great for butterfish, blue moki and close-range snapper. A versatile choice for typical coastal diving and moderate visibility. |
| 1 m – 120 cm | General NZ spearfishing | An excellent all-round range for snapper, kingfish, trevally and reef species. Good balance of range, accuracy and manoeuvrability. |
| 120 cm+ | Clear water & larger fish | Best when you need extra range and power—for kingfish, deeper pins and open-water hunting where visibility allows longer shots. |
NZ tip: Bigger isn't automatically better. Match your gun to the visibility and terrain you dive most often. A shorter gun can be much easier to use around reefs and weed lines, while longer guns come into their own in clear, open water.
