I`ve managed to source a carbon fibre rod but the price with postage and packing is prohibitivly high which is disappointing. I can buy a pole spear from the states and get it shipped to the UK for less than buying the carbon rod to build my own from the UK  |
Finally got fins.........only to find out that they did not fit over my booties so I will have to slip my fins over my aqua socks like a pair of slippers. They are skindiving fins but they will have to do for now. Wish I could help you with the carbon fiber rods but all I can get my hands on locally are fiberglass rods and graphite tubing. The parts for the graphite polespear I am making now put me back $25 for just the shaft components, but it should be a sweet one once done as I plan to use some of the same techniques I use to build fishing rods to fabricate it.
I would love to know what spearfishing conditions are like on the Cornish Coast as I never thought the water looked that clear there. In Northern California 12-15' visibility is not to common in the areas I frequent so I think for now polespears should do me fine. A solid fiberglass 6' for rocky areas and the 8' graphite for more open water.
