Hi everybody,

I´ll go to Indonesia from 24 Nov. to 9 Dec. and would like to know if someone could well me in some details:

1-I read that Bali is good, but tell me a village and and skeaper also. If possible, far from crowded places (just a litlle crowded :) ).

2-what suit should I take:3mm or 5mm?

3-A 130cm gun with 2 rubbers is it enought?

4-probable weather at that time is it good for spearfishing?

5-IS THERE A BUDDY THERE OR IN OTHER ISLAND ALSO GOOD FOR SPEARFISHING?

No response yet? Strange. From what I have read, I would think 130cm x 2x16mm rubbers would be an excellent choice for clearer water but there is really no substitute for local knowledge. Larger railguns are available (140cm, 150cm - and even longer) but 130cm is certainly "up there". 130/140 are usually the largest sizes commonly mentioned on the forum. Loading will obviously require some care & technique with very long railguns (130+). When folk need larger guns than 130/140, the discussion often moves onto large, multi-band "woodies" - such as the Tommy Botha (South Africa), Greek & American (Daryl Wong) wooden Tuna/big game guns. [Staff member Bill McIntyre uses Daryl Wong woodies & Miles uses Tommy Botha (as well as numerous larger railguns & a few larger euro-spearguns).]
