It took me a bit to get used to the sight picture on this size gun because it's my only middle sized gun. I either use 60" plus or sub 40". I needed a middle range gun for good vis days in the U.K. This fills that need perfectly. My target fish here are bass and flatties. Most of the fish I shoot are in the 1-2 kilo range.

My 110 is setup with a 140cm 7mm shaft and his reel. For 54 euro, it's really hard to beat that price for a spooled reel. I setup my own bands with 14.5 mm at 350% stretch. It shoots straight and far with that setup. I haven't done any pool testing, but I've shot some nice fish here in the U.K. With it. Range is around 5 meters with that setup and not a lot of recoil. I would imagine the power, being a much more massive gun, would be more stable. In my use of it, I haven't found it necessary.

Budak spearguns are also sold as red tide spearguns in he USA.
...I was about to say, that looks identical to the red tide guns. Good to know.
