Hey,
I'm looking for suggestions on what makes a great bluewater gun as well as suggestions for a gun. I would prefer a 60"+ wood gun. This year, I have set a personal goal set to take a few large fish such as a blue marlin and next year I'm putting together a trip for a bluefin in the 250lb range. I already hunt with a riffe 120 euro, so i dont need a dolphin wahoo gun.
I dont want to spend ridiculous amounts of money for flash and paint. Spending less than $1100 would be great because I like putting my money toward trips. My guns also take alot of abuse because they get crammed into horrible places that are not climate controlled because I'm a traveling sportfish captain.
I prefer to place my hands on items of at least experience them but apparently with bluewater guns that is not going to happen. It is hard putting faith into a gun for that ONE fish and ONE shot with out having experience with bluewater guns.
Also, please dont fill this forum up with "hear say" This a very important decision and I need help from people with real world experience.
Thanks
Michael
