yeah thanks Jaz
I was quoted about $180 for a sea hornet competition gun brand new. Do you reckon thats a bit expensive for a first gun? I've got the money for it but I would rather buy say a weight belt or diving knife instead of paying top price for my first gun. Do you use a weight belt? I was told you need to be quite advanced before you require a weight belt.
Anyway back to the guns, I was looking at a few Rob Allen guns but most are out of my 200-250 price range. I havn't found any info about Picasso guns. I have also been told Mares and Nemrod are relkiable brands. Is this true? I would definately want a cluster head on my gun with the option of changed to a mako point when I'm targeting larger species (Kingies at Portland mainly).
Any one with some info please post it because Im'm trying to purchase a gun before Wednesday. ( wednesday I'm going to Tassie to do some spearing with my dad).
