Hey everyone,

I am a beginner in spearfishing and I am looking to buy an entry level gun, I am between the Mares Phantom Carbon 75 or 95 and the Mares Phantom FV 75 or 95. I have been told to get the 95, but i think is a bit long for me to start with (I have only used a JBL explorer 20 the three times i have gone in the water). I am in Miami so visibility is quite good most of the time, and we go for grouper, and snapper mostly. I would really appreciate your opinions, I personally like the mares as it claims to have great balance and precision, in summary my questions are the following keeping in mind a tight budget and an offer on the carbon 95 for $175 and the FV 75 for $150. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Go Carbon or FV?
Go 75 or 95?
any other suggestions if not the mares?
