I also use polespears. I use the Foldspear. It seems fish are far less spooked of me when i dont have a huge spear on me. I use a single flopper rock point. I like it because the single can pass through the fish very easily, i have never had a problem. Yet with the paralyzer tips unless they are nice and rusty i have fish comeing off sometimes also. With the single flopper i use i have no problem with penetration. This morning i shot a rubber lips through the top right side top of the head and out the left bottom of the opercula on the other side. So it went through the skull, through the spine and through the opercula on the other side. THe fish was only 15 inches or so but i have never had any problems with it in terms of penetration or hold. But im not an expert, just someone with a little experience to share. Heres my tip/rig.


Edit in. I have never used a break away tip but would definitely like to give it a try sometime.
