About us

At SPIKE, we don’t just build spearguns — we engineer confidence beneath the surface.

Born out of a relentless pursuit to improve what already seemed perfect, SPIKE was founded by passionate spearfishermen who demanded more from their gear. More power. More control. More innovation. The result is a new generation of spearguns — designed not just to shoot, but to perform.

Our flagship innovation, the PowerMod system, lets you switch between full and half power in seconds — giving you the control to take precise shots in tight spaces without risking bent or broken shafts. No more hesitation when a prized fish appears close to a rock. Just flip the switch, take the shot, and land the catch — clean and controlled.

But SPIKE is more than just a powerful shot. From the biodynamically shaped handle that moves with your body, to the load assist feature that makes band loading accessible to everyone, every component is designed for peak performance and a smooth underwater experience. With hydrodynamic lines, minimal recoil, and robust CNC-crafted parts, our gear moves fast, hits hard, and holds up — even in the harshest conditions.

Built in Slovenia. Tested in the wild. Trusted by professionals.

Whether you’re hunting deep in open water or stalking silently in the shallows, SPIKE is your edge.

This is not just another speargun. This is SPIKE.
