 Fish spear |
 |
So i decided to make a fish spear out of a hollow aluminum broom handle, some hockey tape, and 3 squers. I used a lot of tape to make a buffer so the squers wouldnt slide down the shaft on impact and used the tape to secure the squers to the shaft. I figure it is strong enought to not go to pieces when in use, but i will let you know how it works when I try it out. Anyway, here are some pics, let me know what you think. It is just over 56" long.

Looks like you could get dinner with it  does it have some weight to it ?.
Ive been looking for that 1 nice strait maple sapling to make a spear, so far no luck.
Good job Daffy.

Is spearing fish in your area legal for you? I think here you have to get a spear fishing license.

Thats pretty cool, I imagine it would be hard to spear fish but a good challenge.
I doubt you need a lisense here in canada for that

It depends on the type of fish you are fishing here. I'l keep it legal so no worries

It weighs about 4 pounds and is balanced slightly towards the squers... about 6 inches past the middle.

^Just like when you grab the flyswatter, there aren't any flys around anymore.
