I think you're right Spaghetti, there seems a definite preference for 90cm recently. Although it
might also reflect where the active spearos/forum members spend their time - in clear water areas, like Cornwall & the Guernsey. The advice I heard a lot was 75cm-90cm for the UK, & it seems shorter the further east you go (murkier water) and longer the further west you go (clearer water) - a generalization. We don't currently hear much on this forum from Spearos active in Hampshire, Sussex & Kent. Some of them seemed quite keen on shorter guns when I first started looking.

90-82=8 , but 8cm in 5 times = 40+ cm , how is that ?
1 time the length of the barrle
3 times the mono line
1 time the shaft but the shaft is more
so
almost 50CM make a differance!

Good point Mundial, that is quite a difference. I thought 4x (have heard some say 3x) - forgot to include the barrel itself in the range calculation. Nice catches -- you obviously get to eat plenty fish oil!

Let us know how the OMD v. Pav shoot out goes! I've just changed some of my holiday plans in the hope of catching some more favourable weather conditions - swapping sun for lower winds ...hope it works out.
