i need advise...

ive always used an AB biller 50" but recently ive become turned off by my gun. my buddys use riffes and are generally inexperienced. i was diving a shallow spot and only had my sling, i saw some kingfish on my decent so i kinda snagged my buddys riffe (i never shot one before) and took the shot on a 15 pound king. i couldnt believe it, i stoned it perfect and from a risky distance also, about 20 ft. with my biller i have never taken a fish from that far and i now am searching for a new gun. a friend of mine swears by rob allen guns. i checked them out online and found them hard to track down. i also found picasso? a 150cm gun (59") and at a decent price. its equipted with eitrher 1 or 2 bands, which is odd because im used to 3 or 4. are these guns as effective in blue water hunting? do they have the effective shot of a riffe or typical gun of that class??? or would i be better off just spending the extra $$$ for a riffe??? i have a link to the gun ive been checking out. if anyone with better knowledge of these guns can help i would appreciate it! Hana Pa`a Hawaii or the rob allen gun i found....Hana Pa`a Hawaii

Re: i need advise...

They both look like good guns, allthough Ive never used either of them I do have a rabiteck 110 which is very much the same as a RA. Both Rabi and RA are made to last and are awesome guns when hunting bigger fish...
The designs are heavier and more robust than you normal euro gun and can take quite a beating.
Id go for the RA if I were you, my 110 Rabi I use with a single 20mm rubber and have never had a fish it cant handle, not yet at least
Good luck with your decision and happy hunting to you...
