[sickbugs]

anymore pics???? definately an interesting muzzle, looks like it has some sort of clamping design to hold the spear onto the barrel while being open muzzle, looks sweet... ugh.. they HAD to wait until i made my mundial shoot perfect

i dont like it! but thats because i dont like open muzzles on euros in general...

[sickbugs]

hopefully it will have an enclosed muzzle option, from the looks of it, if it doesnt, it might be somewhat easy to make one.. i also am not a fan of open muzzles on euros, just cuz of the whole wrapping proccess, but a semi enclosed, semi open, should be nice

somehow i wonder if euroguns are taking a step backwards, let me elaborate before im attacked by saying so.

used to be, a euro shot dead accurate with single bands, perfectly capable for taking fish in those conditions, now i am seeing a swing to double bands for more power, which i have no problem with, but, they are doing away with the inline band pull which has allways made euros so different. american guns, especially the customs, are coming more and more with band elevators to help with recoil, all they are doing with euros is raising the handle up more to help.. but anyways, it definately is a sexy looking gun, i wonder how one of those handles would look fitted to a mahogany barrel.. hmn... i think i'll have to get me a marlin

again when is it coming out?

[Marwan]

i dont like the open muzzles for euros, because i feel the thing that makes euros stand out is their accuracy, with the closed muzzle you are guaranteed a force that is in line with the shaft, however with open muzzles, since the bands are always at an angle with the shaft part of that force pushes the shaft forwards the other part pushes it downwards, so compromising part of the power to friction and maybe some accruacy loss.. im no real expert but at least thats what physics would say. I think if you go for bigger fish, multibanded guns, the advantage for a multiband gun would be the additional power, but the slight drop in accuracy wont matter that much as the fish is bigger just my 2 cents

If anyone here in the U.S. is interested in a Marlin please contact me via PM. The Marlin Carbon may very well be the finest gun I have ever handled, however I have not put it in the water as the demo was intentionally not made as a fully functioning unit and has gone back to France. Price for the Carbons is in the mid $300's and the Aluminums are right around the $200 range.

Sorry for the blurry photos, but I discovered I'm having camera problems after numerous attempts at a focused pictures. Here are some previews of the all new "Mundial Camo Green" and "Mundial Elaskin" wetsuits. I cannot begin to tell you how absolutely impressed you will be with the quality of these suits.

Rob,

The two suits pictured above are not available just yet. The one you see pictured in the DB store is the "Mundial Camo Brown" which has been out for a while.

Mundial suits fit me excellent and are as comfy as a suit can get! I have only handled these new suits pictured above and they are not my size. I usually wear a size 4 (large) and these two demo suits are size 3 (medium).
