AB Biller / SeaHornet Spear shafts

[JPENDERGRAST]

Does anyone know if Biller / SeaHornet use the same shafts? There is a guy about 2 hours from me practically giving away 4 shafts that are the same size as the new SeaHornet I bought. I don't want to drive that far if they won't fit though.

Thanks

I dont think so, notch on SH shafts seems much smaller

They use the same shafts.

Congrats on the new gun! What size Hornet did you get?

I think Chad's right on this one. I ran across a guy at my LDS and his Biller shaft did fit my gun.

I went with a Seahornet Magnum 52 set up to freeshaft (hybrid shaft) with the quick line connect system. I ordered a kill package, but plan on installing it myself since I got it from a seperate vendor at a real good price.

I used it for the first time yesterday in a lake, and was definitely overkill for 6 foot viz, but I'm looking forward to shooting it this weekend on the oil rigs.

Jp,

Nice gun! Definitely not a real dirty water gun, although you can thumb shoot it like like a pool que. I'll always keep my 52, had it for decades.

The hybrid is a good spear, I'd just be careful with big pelagics, as they can bend it.

Biller notches are tapered more because they bevel their wish bones, but they still work and everything else on the spear is essentially the same. Biller distributed Sea Hornet for about 10 years or more back in the 80's.

Their shafts are compatible with each other.
