Does anyone have a 1.3, or preferably a 1.4 m gun for sale? |

1.3 is a better all round gun IMO |

I have a 1m for the small stuff. There's the king cup coming up, and possibly at trip chasing marlin. Will a 1.3 cover kings, marlin and tuna? Not trying to be sarcastic. If a 1.3 is all I need then I'll go with that, I though the bigger the better was the go chasing those fish? cheers |

Thanks guys. I've got my general rule wrong then. When would you use anything bigger than a 1.3? I've seen guns up to 1.7. |

Big guns 1.5-1.6 crew in W.A and Qld/NSW use for mackerel-tuna-marlin. But IMO your a little limited with how hard you can swing the gun and if a big fish comes in close you may need to take a shot from the "Hip" to reduce the length. I try and space my guns like 75cm-1m-1.3-1.6????? but at the moment its (75cm-90cm-115cm-130cm) next will be a 1.5 carbon or a woody. That's an ideal quiver IMO for local and traveling. You may also have issues traveling domestic and O.S. with the length issues! A 1.5m gun usualy takes a 2m shaft. too long for most airlines!. |
