[harbour seal]

hello db,

i modified the grip area on my polespear---see pics.

i used a piece of foam a bit thinner than the one in the picture beside the spear. i slide it into place, which required some effort, and then hockey taped over it.

i went spearing and it worked very well and made the shaft easy and comfortable to grab/hold. the spear still sank from the surface with the rubber and foam grip. i don't think the added grip slows the spear down too much, although i am new to spearing and likely not the best judge.

on my first outing it easily fully skewered (face-first, down the length of the body) and paralysed a nice rock cod (my first speared fish).

i would love to hear any feedback regarding the setup from those of you experienced with using a polespear.

cheers,

ps. in the pic there is some tape over the 3 pronged paralyser tip
