How they behave in water.
The azimuth is somewhat bulky, the Pal is very easy to move around almost like a rail gun.
Are they worth money, good question, I have 7 wooden guns 1 riffe, 3 yokoojis , 2 teak-sea and one andre, if I would have to pick one gun wooden gun I would pick my teak-sea pal, but they are expensive the same thing can be accomplish with a fraction of money (kill the fish), but if you are looking for a great craftmanship and a pretty gun, I think the teak-sea are the best, also made with teak so it will not stain. Today, I think I would have gone longer, I think the azimuth should have being a 120 gun not a 100 and the pal should have being a 110 or a 120. That being said, I use my Pal in Alaska with 5 mm gloves, the teak-sea are the much quicker to rig in the water then any other gun. The line release is nice and long also the hook under the muzzle is large. So it is a extremelly well tought gun, very acurate, not just a piece of lumber with a handle screew to it. I use the pal with one 20 mm band and a 7 mm shaft and the azimuth with 4x16 and 8 mm shaft.
I use the azimuth in Brazil, when fishing for cubera snaper in murky water, the Pal in Alaska shotting salmon, like the one on the picture and rock fish.
The reason I got then was, Angelo from teak-sea, made a trip to Brazil and dove with a friend of mine, my friend told about the gun, he actually try them on the water and he was really impressed.
On both guns I've used little piece of aluminum, I did not drill the body, I don't like to drill my wood guns. Today I still think about getting rid all other wood guns and getting a Pal 120 or 130 for blue water.
