Best Floridian (eastcoast) speargun

[blame1tonme]

Hey everyone I am new to this site and this is my 2nd post. I currently have a cressi sub comanche 110cm and want to add another gun. I live in palm beach county florida, and will be going off the beach, and offshore(in 50ft deep water at most, because I am a rookie spearfishman and freediver).

I have researched a lot and have come up with 2 main brands of guns that are in my price range: Rob Allen & Mako. I am willing too spend 280$ at most.

I do not know enough about the floridian fishes in 15-50ft water, but I am almost positive I will not be shooting large fish at first unless given the opportunity.

Can anyone give me some information on either company or on the railgun topic in general?

The one you have now is ok for the type conditions you describe, if you upgrade to bigger gun above 125 2 bands etc. anyone of the two guns you mention will be around the $$$ you have budgeted, I'd go with an RA over Mako, but they are both good guns, Rabitech IMO just the same thing with a different name & $$$

also check out aimrite. very beefy carbon with two bands. makes pinpoint shots at 9-15 ft. i have rob allen but never used robitech. aimrites are in the same line but i think they are just a bit better.

i used to live and dive florida coast with the longfins.org

I use a 110cm mako railgun. Dbl 16mm bands 24in and a dbl wrap shooting line. 25- 28ft shooting range with good penetration. Why waste your money on another gun if you already have a great gun in the 110cm mako. Just upgrade with band thickness and lengths.
