Comparing Carbon Guns

[MattSeanH]

Hi,
I've had a Picasso Blackline 120 for probably 10 years now and love it, but as I'm about to tip over the big 40, I'm going to shout myself a new rig. I'm thinking Carbon, 120-130, and Euro style... There are so many choices!! I've considered, a new Picasso magnum, a Beuchat marlin carbone elite, a H Dessault Quatrro, and a Salvimar Sapiens, I love the screw in rubbers that my old picasso have, but they dont seem to be very popular, so am prepared to consider alternatives.
Here in North Queensland Aus, I'm mainly spearing trout/parrot fish to 5kg.
Anyone who's used these guns I'd appreciate some feedback. Any others that I havent mentioned in that category, feel free to let me know what you think. Cheers

Have you considered the Rabitech line? I own two of them and wouldn't consider replacing them with anything else. Simple, accurate, bomb proof. They will take all sorts of rubber combos, and spear thicknesses without modification. You could probably stick 2x20mm bands on there without barrel flex if you wanted!

Hi,
Actually 2 of the guys I go to the reef with regularly are Rabitech owners, and are happy with them. I am infact intending to have a good look at them this weekend, and will try not to get involved in our regular Rabitech/Picasso banter.
Cheers
