I hate those double barb tips, they make for difficult penetration, then fail to keep the fish on. They also make the spear front heavy which affects accuracy and power. A Hawaiian style flopper seems to work well, especially if tuned to be loose on initial opening, then stay locked when fully open. A heavy duty barb can hold big strong fish on a 9/32" shaft.
