Not many new offers in the spearguns between 100 and 200€ category and indeed the amazing winner of the Award and Best Choice 2023, the Salvimar Ares, confirms its leadership also in the Best Choice 2024. The Cressi Cherokee Fast wins the Best Value 2024 of the category.
Technology, quality, ideas and performance all in one single product have convinced the Apneapassion International Test Team again to vote the Salvimar Ares as the Winner of the Best Choice in 2023, but also in 2024! The use of MIM (Metal Injection Moulding) for most of the metal parts of the Heavy Metal 350 release mechanism, the unbeatable quality and perfection of the moulds of the glass loaded Nylon components, such as the handle and the muzzle, and the magnificent design of the polygonal section barrel with outstanding anodization have positioned the Salvimar Ares well ahead of competition on the perceived, and not only, quality front. The only improvable element is the grip with no soft rubber cover.
Cressi Cherokee Fast wins the Best Value
Definitely one of the best spearguns on the market, the Cressi Cherokee Fast wins the Best Value prize thanks to its great qualities and the new commercial offer by Cressi, which includes this year reel and line included with the speargun, but no price increase!
One of the best handles on the market for the best intuitive shot, integrated shaft guide and reinforced barrel, compact and streamlined muzzle with shaft positioning magnet, the Cressi Cherokee Fast has all the best qualities possible at an excellent price.
The other finalists
Sigalsub Nemesis
Also the 2023 finalists are confirmed. The Sigalsub Nemesis with aluminium barrel is definitely one of the finalists of the Best Choice 2024. The compact design, starting from the muzzle, the integrated shaft guide and reinforced barrel, and the extremely refined handle, deeply studied by its designer, Riccardo Iacovacci, makes the Sigalsub speargun one of the three best choices on the market among the ones between 100 and 200€.
Pathos Saragos EVO Pro
Another great finalist is again the new offer from Pathos, the Saragos EVO Pro, the new solution based on one of the most successful spearguns on the market, the Saragos. Unbeatable balance in the water and great performance for the Greek speargun, just missing some perceived quality of the graphics on the barrel and molds of the reel. The price is slightly higher than the other finalists.
