Riffe Euro or Standard for a beginner? - Spearboard.com - The World's Largest Spearfishing Diving Boating Social Media Forum

MusclesGlasses · 05-10-2011, 09:04 PM

Hey guy, i'm new to spearfishing and was wondering about the kind of gun i should get. I've been looking into the Riffe euro and the standard and was wondering what you opinions on the guns are. I live in Florida so I would mostly be doing saltwater fishing, but also my family goes up to Michigan and I was thinking that when I got a gun I could bring it up there and go spearfishing in Lake Michigan. I'm also open to suggestions on different brands.

Oh and I was also looking at the Hammerhead Jurassic.

Costa Hunter · 05-10-2011, 09:31 PM

first gun was a riffe euro 110, countless dinners were put on the table with that gun

fishy killa · 05-10-2011, 09:40 PM

riffe euros are great but if you get the standard pauduk it si cheaper and is basically the same

Omer cayman is a good starter gun. But if you got the money? Riffe Euro is a sweet gun!

MusclesGlasses · 05-11-2011, 06:21 PM

Never mind on the Riffe guns. I didn't realizes how expensive they were. Now I'm leaning more towards the Cressi Comanche or the Hammerhead Jurrasic.

check out this listing. owner is a friend, so don't hold that against him. josh may have pissed on it but all the cobia blood has probably washed it clean.

Riffe Euro are $$$ but a great gun, if you want to save go with a RA...for the price of a Riffe you might as well take a look at the guns SettingSteel is making...send him a pm I've heard he's cutting some deals on SB members.

If you got sticker shock from the Riffe, look into Mako guns. Pretty cheap, with excellent customer service.

Matachopas · 05-12-2011, 01:42 PM

Chek the Sea Sniper Euros, pay a few dollars more but the quality and finish is great

I was actually considering a Mako Predator Pro 90 or 100 cm, an open muzzle and 1 20mm band. But I was just wondering how it compared to the Hammerhead Jurrasic.

MusclesGlasses · 05-12-2011, 07:41 PM

Also Tommy T. how do you like Mako guns. Are they reliable, accurate, powerful?

Tommy T · 05-12-2011, 09:31 PM

I have been shooting the 110 Predator Pro for about a year & have really enjoyed using it. No problems @ all & it's pretty much nighty night fishy when I line up a shot. I used the 130 ETR down in Baja & the only problem I had was there weren't a lot of big fish around! The Oceanic was a laser. Call Dano & he will style you for sure. Yes to accurate, reliable, & powerful. Good luck. Tommy
