I currently shoot a Riffe Metal Tech 3 with enclosed track. It has been a great gun for me, and has never failed. It is a dedicated free shaft gun, and I plan to keep it that way. Although reliable and rather accurate, I'm in need of a gun with more range and better maneuverability and accuracy. I can get a decent deal on any of the four guns and was wondering which would offer the most for my money. I plan on shooting everything from grouper and snapper on the bottom, to mackerel and cobia up top. Which would you pick and why?

Picasso Century FH 100 or 110

Omer Cayman Aluminum 100 or 110

Picasso Carbon Spider Pro 105 or 115

Cressi Geronimo Pro 105 or 115
 
I own an Omer cayman 2 100 missed few fishes with it :head but after a search in the italian forums I found that all had the same problem and the best alternative was to change the sling couple rubber bands with the circular one.They all agree is one of the best speargun ever.I will try it soon when the weather gets better. I also read a few rewiews on the Omer Cayman aluminium and they where all impressed about it so I recently ordered a 90 for myself:inlove. looking forward to have it in my hands.

I agree with Tony

I have an HF2 - 100 as well as HF - 110 and a One 105, all fantastic guns. My favority is the HF2, that I've rigged with one circular band and with the One shaft - the one that has the flopper ring.
The impression I have on the missed shot (which I have plenty), all of them is my fault not taking the time or getting into better position.
I am also getting HF2 - 90 at the end of the year.
if you are planning on double banding I would go with HF instead of HF2.
 
Hello! Take a look at New Seatec Geko 110cm, it has some features like HF2 but more solid and I think it will make less noise.

You are correct Tomy, the caymans are noise. This seatec looks good, but it is not a cheap gun.

I did reduce the noise by adding a vinyl tape.

I forgot to mention, on my HF2-100 I am using 6.75 mm shaft (the std is 6.5), on my one105 I am using 7.1 mm shaft (the std is 6.75), on my HF110 I am using a 7.0 mm (the std is 6.75mm)
 
Yes, it is not cheap, but it has basically everythin (Except a 7.00mm shaft). Hope some forum members will give us some input.

Have you looked at the Mako guns I just got an green camo Oceanic 110. The gun is amazing and so is the price. I would look at the 120 for those bigger fish. I got mine to shoot white sea bass and other fish in the kelp. i shot some nice sand bass at like 12 ft and it went all the way past the shaft down to the Mono bungee. It will have no prob blastin fish in the 20-40 lb range at 10 ft or more.
 
here is the unlucky sand bass and the gun
