Hi Kanakafari, suggest you update the thread title to include the word "Greece" and/or "Greek" - as folk often search on country names (something you might wish to try). There was a thread on Greek spearguns active quite recently, I think they were mainly wooden tuna guns. We have several Greek forum members that might be able help too.
I think that Teak-Sea is the only european manufacturer of american-style tuna guns (please anyone correct me if I'm wrong).
I remember they had 2 types of tuna/blue water guns: the Doctor fish (total weight: 7 kilograms!) and the Commandos (total weight: 14 kilograms!!! A hell of a huge gun).
Of course they make good looking euro's too, but as far as I know their true specialty is blue water/tuna guns.
You won't find too many people with a first hand feedback, cause bluewater type of hunting is not very popular in Europe: it's a niche sector to say the least.
But what type of gun where you looking into? Euro or BW?

Thanks guys for the feedback.
I actually found a guy selling a couple of these guns brand-new still in its shipping package. The asking price is not too much for what at first appears to be a very sexy gun. I believe he is labeling it as the 90x which would tell me it is most likely a 90cm gun, but I was unable to find such model on the Teak-Sea site. Perhaps this is an older model?
I typically use Euro guns for both BW and kelp diving with length obviously differing from one activity to another. I was just hoping to find anyone who has first-hand experience with shooting a Teak-Sea and its overall performance. They do appear to have a fairly small diameter compared to ali barrel guns, especially for it being wood, but they do look like they would be very swift in the H2O.
Thanks again for your posts.

I have two of them the azimuth and a pal, they are fantastic guns, but I would not spend that kind of money on a 90 cm gun. My pick with would a pal 120.
Both of my guns I've purchase straight from teak-sea, Angelo is a very nice guy and straight, I've pay them with pay pal.
The teak-sea reel sucks, just a heads up.
The X model was the pal with a trim muzzle, this would not be my choice.

strangelove,
so you are saying that the 90x is a 90cm gun yes? If that's the case then I would not buy it. I already have a 90cm and it has served me well. I was just looking for some insight to the Teak-Sea guns and how they perform overall. Thanks for the comments.

I've left work already, but I have pdf file with the explanation of the 90x, I think it has a saw muzzle that don't allow circular band, should be an easy gun to move around. I can't give enough praise about this gun, really well finish the gun has perfect balance very acurate (I have a pal and an azimuth), I would recomend the pal not the azimuth.
About the size I think small wooden guns are somewhat a waste of money, if you are buying a small gun like a 90, is because you need to move the gun fast, wooden guns never move as fast as rail guns, I've arrived to this conclusion after purchasing 6 wooden guns from 80 cm to 140 cm.
Today the only reason I would consider a small wooden gun would be to hunt snook, since it is best with quite shoots, wooden guns are good for that.
But my teak-sea pal is by far my favority wooden gun , I regret getting the 100 instead of 110 or 120. Their reel is a waste of money I think I have mine with a RA carbon reel. IMO teak-sea are the most beautifull wooden guns (forgive me spago - but it is true), they are teak therefore they don't stain like other woods do.
The wooden handle is just perfect very confortable and ergonomic, the line release is nice and with a nice angle, I never had one single tangle shot with it.
I will look for the pdf file about 90x and try to post here.
