its a nice looking gun, however, that style line release will be an issue with many of divers i'm sure. I personally would not buy a gun with that line release. I woulda stuck with a traditional side or bottom s/s type. What happens if the diver wants to use a 1.5 or 2-wraps of mono? What about a breakaway setup (being that its a 120cm)? Doesn't look like it would hold very securely and pop off randomly.

It looks nice. I like it. I don't see the point of having two wraps, I've always said it. Nobody can hit a fish at a two wraps distance with a rail gun. At least not with decent penetration power. On the other hand, It will not allow you to prevent a fish to hole when shot.

What's the price range? 250-300? Sizes? Availability?

I have a friend in Puerto Rico that is looking to buy a 110-120. This might be a nice alternative.

I too believe this 100%, but i'm looking at it from a business standpoint- what the majority of divers will think, and what will SELL. A lot of newer divers will use a double-wrap no matter if its pointless. For myself personally, I use a 1.5 wrap on my 120cm because I run a breakaway for Jobbies, Wahoo, and Mahi. I don't think that line release style wouldn't hold my breakaway setup very securely. just my 2cents.

That line release reminds me of the Cressi Geronimo Pro. I know a guy that uses that gun and thats his #1 gripe with the gun (the line release). He said if the line isn't TIGHT or when the mono gets stretched out, it pops out from the part that you route under on the handle and the line comes off the line release.

Something must be wrong with my eyes cause I don't see the double wrap you guys mention . I think the gun looks great, I would buy it as it is. I am sure the handle without loading pad will also raise some concern from other divers.

That line release works fine all you need is a bungee or a reel to keep it tight. That being said I like side/bottom line release systems better.

Can you give us more barrel pictures? What wall thickness etc?
