Bow-style spear sling

One breath. One draw.

Lankas brings the oldest way to hunt underwater. No trigger, no barrel. Pull back like an archer, aim along the shaft and let go.

The Lankas spear sling: coral grip with the Lankas logo on a black shield, brushed aluminium tubes, coral latex band in a U behind the grip, an integrated reel under the grip and a shaft through the guide.

The name

The bow is humanity's oldest precision tool. Lankas takes it underwater and keeps it simple: a grip, two tubes, a band and your own strength.

Tradition

Anchored at the cheek and aimed along the shaft. Your eye, your arm, your release.

Simplicity

Few parts and no trigger mechanism. Every part can be seen, replaced or repaired.

Craft

Brushed aluminium, an etched logo and a grip refined by hand. Made in small batches.

Respect for the ocean

Selective, close-range, one-breath hunting. Take only what you need.

How it works

Simpler than a speargun. More power than a simple sling.

  1. Load the shaft

    Slide a standard notched Tahitian shaft through the guide and seat its tail in the cup at the centre of the band.

  2. Pull to anchor

    Push the grip forward and bring the cup back to your cheek, the way an archer anchors. Left- or right-handed.

  3. Aim and release

    Look down the shaft, open your fingers and let the band do the work. The reel keeps your line under control.

The kit
