just simple as : it is upon what fish you going to spear and where this fish is living..
means some fishes that you know you gone to shoot in a cave , or if the fish is swimming closed to some rocks, corals ,then shootin the fish mean going
through with the 5/7 cms point and 5/7 8cms barb lenght
if yr barb is 8 cms + placed at 7 cms from the point = 15 cms at least is necessary to be openning the barb ..
if the fish is 1 cms away from the wall and his 13 cms thick then it could be not openning ..
this is why there are some spears with diff sizes barbs places closer from point or not.
then double barbs are ok for ``light ``bluewater -open water fishes purposes.
are not good in corals .as when they are on bottom they are often stocked in corals and you must dive there to get them back same for slip tips.
if you shoot a fish tht is not killed-shooted and his swimming down to bottom there is big chances that it stayed stocked there from the point
and if this happens under where you can dive ...200 feet?
you ve to cut yr line and loosing yr shaft..
and come back with a tank ..may be..
