Agreed, a 90cm band-gun is versatile and quite maneouverable, but a Mamba 90cm (or standard airgun of equivalent size) is certainly more maneourverable (difference in overall length is more than 20cms; 143cm (band-gun) vs. 121cm (Mamba) to be exact). In the Med, if the bass are 'interested' at all, they tend to come close.

Anyway, our friend asked about the appropriate pneumo for the job, innit? A standard 85cm Spark/Stealth @ around EUR90 is perfectly up to the task.

Rumour has it that on certain days of the year one can simply grab 10kg plus bass by the lower jaw in your waters
