( I believe you drive a Ford if my memory serves me right) Carbon (I'm not against change and improvements), but I'd like to see change incorporated into a product that's built ford tough. Anyway, I agree that the new technology is nice and certainly respect the advances that it offers, I'm just not that impressed with the feel of the omer. Hey Spaghetti, had to laugh when I saw your post because I normally just see you on deeperblue. Sure you may love your old gun so much to stick with it forever until it does kill fish, and that's fine: I myself have shot hundreds of skinny european fish with the Viper/Predator handle, and sticked to it for years until it fell apart.īut a technologically advanced functional design is still a technologically advanced functional desing: something to consider, or at least to regard with respect. This said, you may still have a perfect feeling and do a better job using an older, relatively primitive tool, if you feel good with it. Talking of functional design: it's a tool that's technologically engineered to give us a "plus" when compared to older designs. I'm not talking 'bout how cool the Cayman may look. The feel is very subjective, but the Cayman handle has objectively a more advanced functional design (ergonomics et cetera) than the Predator handle, which is really good but almost 20 years old (Predator's handle is a rebranding of Dessault's Viper handle from the early 90's). But considering the number of Mako users on this board, I don't think it has been a serious problem for a majority of the users. I have heard about the jamming issue and there is a post up with a simple solution for it. The open or closed muzzle from mako can use bulk rubber (cheap) whereas the omer requires screw in omer bands ($$$$$). The handle was firm and comfortable, the spear is a RA spear and is very tough (the omer spear is too thin and flimsy), and the gun fired well. I was more impressed with the Mako predator pro. I do however know of several people who love this handle because it places your hand very high up and makes aiming very natural. I also hated the safety which was a tiny little lever that was impossible to switch on or off while wearing gloves (but I know not many people use the safety anyway). I also didn't like the feel of the handle as it seemed too small for my hands (and I don't have big hands). The retaining tooth fits into the notch of the rod hooking it to the trigger mechanism.I used the Cayman HF a while back, which I believe uses the same handle, and was very unimpressed with the gun. The line slide is obtained by means of a stainless steel clip firmly fixed on the head. The material used allows the head to be used with rubber bands that mount plastic or stainless steel ferrules. It is precisely fixed on the barrel by means of a Grivory EMS plug. The butt pad is interchangeable on the two models and is made of loaded Nylon 6.6. The characteristic plug at the end of the castle considerably facilitates the loading of the weapon resting on the fisherman´s chest. Trigger, line release and some pins in Grivory EMS. The line release is lateral with a cam movement separated from the release system.ĭie-cast walnut in stainless steel. The mechanism is housed in the upper castle and fixed with stainless steel or 5 turned pins. The one-piece castle is built in shock-resistant 6,6 loaded nylon while the thermoplastic cover allows for an easier and safer grip. It is made in sizes 80, 90, 100 and 110 cm. It mounts the Cayman handle and the head of the XXV series with the possibility of being used with traditional tires, with circular rubber or with both.Įquipped as standard with Power 18 rubber bands and 6.3 mm stainless steel shaft. Omer Cayman HF2 speargun is made thanks to Hydro Forming technology and characterized by a "double cuttlebone" blank designed to be very manageable in the water and have a shooting power typical of spearguns with large mass and extreme stiffness of the blank.Įach size is studied in its geometries to optimize volumes and buoyancy thrusts.
