A few weeks ago I wrote an article about the test of the new speargun Exium G2 Esclapez in which I presented the ingenious system allowing user to change the balance of the weapon according to his needs. In this review I have tested one of the extraordinary accessories that can be mounted  on the Exium to set its balance and its shooting accuracy.

It is a cuttlefish bone-shaped shooting stabilizer which can be mounted with two simple and small bolts in the track that runs under the barrel. It is 28cm long and about 10cm large and it is designed to be positioned at any point of the barrel. If its size may raise some doubts about its capacity to not affect the agility in the water, you have to consider that the point of maximum amplitude protrudes only about 3cm (per side) beyond the profile of the barrel.

In addition, its sloping profile channels water into the openings of the barrel favoring side movements with a few implications in the vertical ones. Two specific aspects of this accessory should be underlined, the first is that it has been designed and it is therefore recommended for the longer barrels (100/110/etc) and the second is that in its interior it is hollow and therefore performs the function of float affecting the overall balance of the speargun.

In the video below you can see some of the many changes you can make and how these affect the balance of the Exium once it gets in the water. It should be highlighted once again that this weapon is sold standard with a 6.25mm shaft while the test was conducted with a 6.5mm one.
