tomtom suggested I start a new thread with this, hope I am doing this right. I made this fishing spear/ harpoon point from 3/16th ss. rod. here are details, shaftis about 1ft. long barb is about 2in. long, at back is large ss. flat washer. to make, cut parts, weld with ss. welding rod of 1/8in. dia. or smaller I just eye-balled angle for barb, then notched butt of shaft welded in washer. sharpen point and its ready. I use one of 2 ways, as spear, with shaft inserted into wood pole [made on site of coarse], and tied in, or as harpoon with spear shaft mearly wedged into pole. to attach my harpoon line I use commercial swivel with para cord attached.If I can offer any advice on use it is this , try and make sure your point goes completely thru, I have had fish as large as 15lbs. on if you dont get good penetration they make every effort to tear themselves off. I can tell you first hand they do not give you a second chance. tomtom will help me post pictures so cross your fingers we get this right. here are pic codes [I hope]
the same with spear1copy ,spear2copy ,spear3 ,spear4. hope I did this right ,thanks all for your patience.
