WSB Gun purchase
 
Looking to buy a new gun for WSB this season... I know there are other options but these are the options I am currently looking at:
Rob Allen 1100 for $200 used+ need a reel

Mako 100cm predator pro 2nd gen for 190 + need a reel

Dont forget the slip tip. Do the guns have break aways?

Between these guns I would buy the Rob Allen

I'd rather have a 110 than a 100 if it were going to be my designated seabass gun

the 120 or 130 would be a little more money, and a little more of what Juan is hinting at.

definitely go for the RA 110 if thats what you're set on length wise, and price wise

Do you think a slip tip is necessary for the shaft to not bend?

Yes, that is one reason for a slip tip, but they are mainly used to reduce tear-offs because wsb have soft flesh, and without a really good shot, a flopper shaft can easily rip out of the fish. You won't find many people on this board advocating you not to use a slip tip for seabass, but it is possible to get away with a flopper, just not practical or responsible (unless you are an expert who has lots of self control and will be very selective with his shot).

Maybe this thing can go full circle.

floatline or reel? ;-P

Re: WSB Gun purchase
 
Using a flopper shaft period makes no sense to me. So old school its ridiculous. A guy on this board who was some sort of engineer was designing a new type of flopper that expanded once through the fish...genius design and if anyone knows the guys blog that I am talking about please post as I can't seem to find it anymore....anyways what im really trying to say is **** floppers.
