Bullhead I have had in the past an aquapro, Texas hunter and four sweenys. I like the Texas hunter but it will not throw the aquamax 600 pellet which is what I feed most. It will also not throw the largemouth pellet. My goals are to have large bass and hybrid striped bass and so I buy mostly aquamax 600 and largemouth size feed. I guess your answer would depend on what you are trying to feed? I had one of my sweenys last for ten years before the bottom finally rusted out.
