I have faithfully used Bulk and Omer Slings for years and now i have been offered Cressi slings, 20mmx22cm for my 90 gun the softer G20 and Hard S45's im gona get them for 10 Euro a pair so any Feedback would be much apreciated, i will buy both if they are any good,

Thanks

Peter.
 
i Have 2 cressi guns (75 and 100) i always use the G-20's, they are very powerful and abit hard to load at first (like any rubbers), I simply HATE the s-45, too too Rigid, to the extent that if, after the struggle you managed to load the gun, you would'nt shoot any fish unless it's a prize.
 
Thanks Marwan. a Friend of a friend who bought a donkey from us said he almost got a haernia from the S45's so he threw them away but i didnt believe him, maybe there is some truth in this then. i may buy just the G20's then, How soft are they? do they perish/crack easily? its a good offer so i may buy a few and freeze the others for later use.

Thanks

Peter.
 
they are not soft, they are softer than your average 20mm, but still need some work to load. i didnt try freezing them before, i never had them crak, and one set has been in use for 3 years now, without freezing them !
One of my friends though, left them in their original cressi bag for 2 years,but did not freeze them, they cracked and the threaded plastic was even broken. I think he left them in the engine room of his boat or something
they are a good deal
