What do you guys think about these brands? They look great and I've heard good things about them. I'd get one of the higher end guns from these guys, I just don't want to waste money on a crappy gun.

How about the Hammerhead Evolution?

Thanks for the help guys!

I been using the Beuchat Mundial carbon elite rail gun and i love it.. i then changed the muzzle and put the hammerhead open muzzle on it but didnt really get to test it fully with the muzzle/rubber/shaft combo but will figure it out in couple days.

I was using 2x16mm rubbers and it didnt shoot right cuz the rubbers were too long for the gun. Now i swapped the rubbers to a short single 19mm with a 6.75mm shaft... i feel its going to be a deadly combo.. ill find out in a day or two.

That sounds like a bitchen setup. Let me know what you think about it. I might do the same thing. How long of a gun do you have?
 
i would recommend the mundial carbon elite as well. Although i dont have it, i do have similar guns, omer and cressi, both with carbon barrels and rail. i also use 18mm single band with 6.75 shafts, killer combo, its thick enough to resist the fight from a grouper yet not too thock for the quicker fish. i use a 100 length, but then again, length of gun depends on th fish you hunt, the visibility in your area, the bottom type. if you are unsure about these things, i would recommend size 90. its a great all around size, you could then move up if you feel the need to.
happy hunting
 
Ya im using the 900.. i think its excellet all rounder.iv landed all different kinda fish with it.. reef fish, Decent sized grouper and massive passing by uluas... but if i was to choose again i would get the 1000.

I also have a 6mm shaft and made a 16mm 51cm rubber that should be the Silent deadly recepie for the smaller to medium sized reef fish... they wont know what hit them... hehe:martial Cant wait to try this combo too.

One thing about the short 19mm rubber.. its sure is a beeeech to load!!

Hopefully today ill get to try out the new setup with my first home made rubber

Sofar no one clames to own a Picasso Are thay any good? I have the Beuchat mundiall carbon Elite 1000 and love it.
 
Hello
i own a picasso century carbontitanio 110cm. And i find it very good.
Only tried it in norway, so i havnt shoot any big fish. But the accuresy(?) is very good. Its also seems very powerfull, but its my first speargun, so i have nothing to compare it with.

110cm is a little to big for my use of the gun. Considering to buy a new one, 90cm or so..

Have any one tried Beuchat mundial carbon elite? Or should i go for picasso century carbontitanio 90cm?

Hello to all
both are great brands, Strong, reliable and performant,
on both brands we can find great models from 50 cm to 1400 cm
Beuchat and Picasso trigers are great, very strong that can be used till 3 16mm rubber, picasso provides diferents trigers setting using several kinds of springs.
In the end is more a question of taste
 
I've used both and they are both good, you'd be happy with either. If you pushed me the I would go with the Beuchat purely on comfort, the performance is very similar
