G'day,
I'm looking at buying a speargun - I've been using a sling for the last year or so. I mostly just spear the inshore reefs, but i'd like to get a decent sized gun (1m>) so I can go for some larger stuff if I get adventurous - preferably with the option of adding a second rubber later. At the moment I generally get flatheads, leatherjackets, butterfish, etc. but I've been seeing a lot of pike recently and it's really frustrating with a sling!
Which guns do you guys use? Have any of you tried pneumatic guns?
I'm looking at maybe a SeaHornet Magnum, but I'm also interested in the idea of pneumatic guns - i've found some that are fairly reasonably priced overseas, but I'm not sure about how our customs will deal with a speargun.
Any advice would be really helpful.
Cheers.
