Re: To all wong's speargun user

If its opinion you want....I am full of that!
I have several Wongs, the list includes
50" open track cf hybrid
55" semi enclosed track cf hybrid
60" Ono bluewater gun
110cm Aimrite railgun
and I just sold my 57" MG Special

You havent really mentioned where you dive and your typical species and conditions but I would vote for the 55" hybrid for the all around gun. Not too big to use on the smaller fish and definately big enough for the bigger ones. I use mine on the oil rigs and it is perfect for the large fish we encounter but I just returned from diving with Daryl last week in Hawaii and I used Rick Bettua's 55" hybrid on the small skittish reef fish found there.
I like my MG but I liked it more for scuba diving than freediving and I just dont have time to do both right now.
The biggest thing is that I seem to prefer the mid handled hybrid 90% of the time. It just has a good feel to it. Others prefer the traditional style guns like the MG or Florida Freeshafter. Its a personal thing and I cant tell you whats right or wrong.
Definately give Daryl a call. I cant say enough good things about him or Rick. They are first class all the way.

Final answer....If I was in your shoes I would take a long look at the 55" cf magnum hybrid.
