My :twocents: don't get a pneumatic http://spearfishing.world/seve…perior-to-pneumatics.html They're a good option when you can only get a poor quality band gun, this is not the case here in the US. And if you insist here are some things you can do to the farter http://spearfishing.world/spea…umatic-speargun-mods.html
Well, some people love pneumatics and some people hates them. If you are going to get one, get the Mares Spark mimetic; it's like the cirano but better and less expensive.
My recommendation for what you are asking for would be a 120 double 16 mm banded railgun. I like Rob Allens myself.
Other people here likes Riffe. I don´t.
x2 on the 120 Rob allen..
I have seen Greek do some serious damage to fish with his pneumatic, so I know they are legit, I just like less moving parts and easy repairs
100 is a great reef gun but will leave you too short at times and very very shrt on any blue water you do..a 110 is really the king on our reefs as it moves easily and still has good range but it is inadequate for almost all blue water fish(mahi will still swim up to you)...a 120 is perhaps a bit too long for some reef hunting(i very rarely wish i had a shorter gun to wedge it into crevices and such), but it can still deliver good power at range to land kings or possibly Wahoo with good hunting techniques and can serve you well enough in most blue water applications (i have even seen vids of tuna on what looked like 120 pipe guns)....i think 130 is too long for the reef here, but ask hau as he hunted w one for a while and might have different opinions.
remember that the name of the game is compromise and there is no one gun that does everything...i consider my 120 RA to be a very versatile hunter that works in most of our dive conditions
Mares Cyrano 1100 is good or a 120 seacsub, I used to have a cyrano for reefs until I lost it. I would shoot it on low power setting for super easy loading. I would switch to high power to hit muttons and mackerels.
A pneumatic length choice really depends on your height and arm length. You have to choose one long enough so that you can barely reach the spear point when it is resting in the gun unloaded and handle on your foot. This way you don't have to use a knee loader or ladder which becomes cumbersome for loading.
That term knee loader needs to go away because it's misleading, the loading assist bar is not meant to be used with the knee.
Forget the RA. Riffe Euro 110. There`s a wood reason behind that statement actually.

Without this Island (26) mile offshore I would not have stayed in Calli.
It has everything, great food, good pubs, and great game fish. I just wish the Marlin were legal to spear.
Cheers, Don
You Riffe groupie...
Cheers, Don
Cool Don, both of ya look like Rock stars!!
steve, you are hilarious!!!
Don, nice shorts:)
...and Catalina has always been a dream destination of mine...a couple of buddies and I have always fantasized about rigging a few yaks w downwind sails and kayaking out there for a week of camping and taking the ferry back...shame I live about 1534 miles away from the launch

This is one of the island fox's
Other one's may be found here, if your on holiday.
And if you have cash to flash and dough to blow more can be found here.
Think of Cat Island as a Monaco of the pacific coast, with White sharks and big game fish...oh I forgot
the Russian boars and Buffalo. Can make camping very interesting at times. :@ I hate camping anyways, I feel better on a boat.
Aye Aye you f'nn wankers.... there's Yellowtail boiling off the starboard rail... man the gameguns.
Cheers, Don
How many people live there full time?
