Been Freediving for years, Just started spearfishing the other week with some friends and now I am addicted!
I am shopping for my first gun and so far I keep coming back to the Cressi Apache. Its cheap, and all the reviews I have read say its a great beginner/first gun.
Wondering if anybody owns this gun and if it is good for a first speargun. Or if they have any comments about it.
I will be hunting Greenlings and other Rockfish (10-20 inches in size) around 4-20m deep In the cold waters of Campbell River Canada. I would also like to start diving deeper (25+m) for larger fish (Halibut) once I get more comfortable with my dive partners. I understand this gun can fit most reels on it which I will need if i start going for halibut.
Please keep in mind my understanding of Speargun/s and how they work is very very little and consists only of what I have read of the internet. Right now I am using a 6' pole and not having much luck.
Thanks in advance for any advise/tips in regards to getting my first speargun. I also apologize in advance as I am sure this topic of newbie spearguns has probably been talked about many times before.
Cheers!
