The shock absorber is a very useful accessory for an speargun. It is necessary for the proper placement of the line on the speargun without sagging.



Additionally, the shock absorber softens the moves of the shot fish. A large fish, during its initial struggles, can tear itself or the line and escape. The shock absorber helps dampen these moves, thereby reducing the likelihood of losing the catch.



The shock absorber is made of Dyneema on loops, durable latex rubber, carabiners, and a line inside the absorber that limits the stretching of the rubber to no more than 250% and takes on further axial load.
