Hey guys, I am new to the forum and just wanted to say hi and ask for some advice.
I am going to be in Fla next week with some friends and we are going to to some scuba/freediving and spearfishing. As much as possible! I have never spear fished before but am super psyched to try it. I will buying a gun once I arrive in Fla. I have kind of decided on a 42" JBL SUPER CARBINE, I found a store on my way down that has them for $90.00. The info says it will shoot to 22ft but I am a little skeptical. If someone has a better suggestion in that price range please let me know. I wouldnt even mind buying a used gun but would have to get one with good bands or ones that I could replace cheaply. I intend to do mostly shallow water spearfishing and am pretty much interested in shooting anything that we legally can. I also intend to spearfish the waters here in MI for big carp, gar catfish, sheepshead and more so I would like a decent sized gun with a little punch to it. I would really love to have a larger gun like 60" but am worried I wont be able to get it home on the plane so I will have to ship it or something. All of that is extra $$ .
I hope someone can help me out with some good advice.
I also have a thread where i am looking for some general and more specific info for fishing the Marathon area if anyone can help me out there!
Thanks!
James
