Hello, I'm 15 and new to SCUBA/Spearfishing. I have my SCUBA diving licenses and i found it rather boring underwater, I want to start Freediving since i dont have full scuba Equipment. I think it would have been more fun if i had a spear or somthing to spear the fish since i love fish and i like fishing its just a differnt way to do it.
I was talking to my grandpa about it and he offerd me his old pole spear, when i say old i mean like 1990's or late 1980's i belive. The Tip was rusted and the prongs were dull when he gave it to me with no band. I let the tip sit in paint thinner to remove the rust but it didnt do much, after some hardcore sanding i got 98% of it off and i Grinded the tips of the paralizer and made them SUPER sharp. I replaced it with a band that i bought at Sports Chalet that is made for pole spears.
I was hoping to get out soon, The pole spear is made by ScubaPro and is about 10-12 feet long and is a expandable shaft that is 2 parts.
What do you guys think. Its aluminum and seems good...
I havnt used it yet but i will soon..
Any advice?
I was thinking about buying a speargun... Is it worth it...?
Thanks Cody
