Re: Polespear tips

i too have only used the paralyzer tip on my JBL.. what i found to work best is that you get within range of your fish so that you know the tips will punch through hard enough to really get it on there.

for some of the bigger fish ive hit, pinning them onto the bottom works well, until you can slide down the shaft and grab the fish to secure it. sometimes if im near the surface, ill do my best to keep pushing so that the fish is forced onto the tip.. thus making it a bit more difficult for them to wiggle off. many times you can just point your spear up and out of the water until you can secure the fish or subdue it with your knife. this goes the same for pinning them down.

i have the same double flopper, and actually i plan on using it tomorrow to try it out for once. ive been around 15-20 times and never once used it.. if i like it enough and get skilled with it, i plan on going with a slip tip in the future so i can be sure to take the larger fish that i see.

thats my two cents. im sure someone else will have some useful info too.
