I got it as a second one at 75cm and as a backup, and I also invested in the company's mini reel, for murky and shallow waters for bream, sea bass, and saddled bream. First of all, as it is set up, it is a weapon for beginners; if you want to keep it afterward, it will need modifications, and I explain.
1. Positives: the company's trigger mechanism is very good and high quality, with good sensitivity, a reliable line holder and safety, and with a mechanism that is not reverse, but it is placed very far back in the trigger, so you gain quite a few valuable centimeters of loading. The bands are the S400 acid green 14mm, very good progressive bands, with a high elongation coefficient that give you a very smooth and fast shot and are very easy to load on both notches. Simple reinforced muzzle, which does the job, although I would prefer a short split one. 2. Negatives. Its head is closed with a removable bridge. Very removable though, since I have already lost 4!! (The package comes with 2). As a result, once the bridge is gone, the fishing is over. Although they say the speargun also works as an open-head one, that is not true because there is NOWHERE a fin to hold the line so you can bring it over the shaft and lock it, unless you make a modification with a homemade part!!!! The shaft is Tahitian-type galvanized. Very soft!! At the first hit on the rocks if you are careless, it bent, even with the 14mm bands; in fact it is so soft that you can straighten it very easily, but not reliably, by hand, placing the belly of the bent shaft on the arm of a chair and pressing with your hands. The result, of course, is shots all over the place since the shaft has lost its straightness and, most importantly, its speed!!!! For the same money you buy the steel inox one from Pathos with notches, which is hard and will never bend!!! . I bought it for 65 euros on offer and at that price it is worth it because it is a very good and reliable build, except of course for the bridge, which is unacceptable since for a 2-euro plastic part it ruins your fishing and gives you the impression that Salvimar did it on purpose so you would buy the pack of 5!!! bridges. At 95 euros, however, plus the bridges you will definitely buy and later another head when you get tired of changing bridges and certainly a shaft, then we are talking about at least another 10+20+30 € respectively, for the gun to become fully reliable, it needs a bit more thought! As a beginner gun I recommend it! For that role it is perfect and a very user-friendly speargun, with a little extra care on the rocks and always with a spare bridge!! For the main gun of a more experienced spearfisher, as a second and backup, it needs modifications!!
