A quick Fishing Spear or Frog Gigg

I was messing around in the back yard yesterday checking out my nephew's new Ka-Bar, man that was a lot like visiting with an old friend, and made this. Still haven't tried it out yet, there is a little more whittling to do as I need to thin down the tines a bit. Maybe I'll get to try it out this coming weekend.

The tree I started with

Hi Mistwalker,i like your approach,keeping it simple,nice one :)

Let us know how it performs once you get the chance to use it.
Cheers Stuart.



Thank you, when showing something intended for survival purposes I try to keep things simple to use up less energy, though I do intend to make a more involved version later. I need to work on this one some more. Hope to try it out this weekend.
