banshee?

call up a spearfishing shop. its made of the same stuff as speargun bands. but to me sounds like a pain in the ass and isnt worth the effort. plus, personally, i think bungees are a waste.

Home made ones never work as good as buying one

I have made a bungee that worked awesomly. I cost me about $150. Go on ebay and get 2 (100 yard) rolls of 5/8 in thick bungee. Fold the pieces into 4 (50 yrd) pieces. Tie them together at the folded ends. Then I used a type of square knot to braid the together. (this takes ALOT of time.) good luck

be careful though. there was a guy on here before who got messed up by his bungee when the anchor came loose. i'd think the chance of injury would increase with homemade bungees.
