Best Bazooka ?


Seems the only major difference with many bazookas on the market is the original price. Comparing say a Columbia bazooka, are there thoughts on the best bazooka to buy?

Re: Best Bazooka ?


The only way to know is to try one out yourself, which isn't very convenient sometimes.

With that said, the best bazooka.......is no bazooka at all. heeheehee

Re: Best Bazooka ?


As I said to a similar question. Get the ones that look cooler. I went with Columbia. But if I get another set I'll probably try Tapetech, I'm just not thrilled with their color. The cooler they look the cooler you look. I look so cool.

Re: Best Bazooka ?


columbia makes a fine made in canada taper and still use it as a back up to my made in the u.s.a. tape tech taper but for me it is just that a back up.
Don't get me wrong I'm a proud canadian and buy canadian as much as possible but like to use the best running stuff out there.

Canada actually produces products? That's not what they said on South Park!

I have a columbia and tape tech and very rarely use the tape tech.The only time it gets used is when I have 2 houses going at once and I send someone else to string it.They get the tape tech.
