Hi everybody!
I am new at spearfishing and i dont know what gun to choose. I am younger and i dont have a whole lot of money. (about $400 at the most) I kind of was looking at the gun market and narrowed it down Riffe and JBL. i am trying to choose between a Riffe Metal Tech #0 or #1 and a JBl Magnum 38 Special. i am going to be spearing off the coast of Rhode Island, mostly around rocks and sandy bottoms. the main fish i will be targeting will be stripers, bluefish and maybe some big scup and blackfish. If possible i would like to get the JBL gun because it is considerably cheaper, although i would be willing to save a few extra pennies and get the Riffe. I was reading in the forums before i joined, and i think i heard somebody say that the Riffe guns have much better penetration than the JBL, which i think i would like a bit more. PLease respond as i would like to choose a gun by the end of the month to get half a season out of it! i would also like to say that i can buy a gun and easily upgrade if i need a better one. i think i will go with a Riffe competetor gun because they dont look as expensive and i will be able to upgrade to the MT later.
THanks.
