Wow Marwan your gun looks so nice especially because it's black It's intimidating. Austins have plenty of guns on the walls let me tell you, Especially riffe.I went in 1 time and the guy that works there a good friend of mines pulled out a Wong I was like wow man don't you think that's a little bit to much because he has a couple but it wasn't his It was Dougs I think. I guess If i was to order a gun internationally it will be a C4 gun or a Mariosub Mamba O_o!

The coolest polespears I've ever seen were brought to the Omer Hatteras Open by one of the Japanese divers. They were nearly 4 meters long!! 3 sections, carbon fiber. (you could make them shorter by using just two) With the most awesome 3-sided slip tips. The edges on the tips were razor sharp and the band was used differently than on most. It was not looped - there was a loop on one end for your hand but only a single end was attached to the spear. Yoshi, the guy who brought them, is a champion with the polespear in Japan. These things were just beautiful.

I almost like polespearing better because it makes me have to be more stealthy in hunting the fish. My polespear is only 7ft long so i have to get pretty close to the fish and the bigger fish never let me. With a speargun i can usually stay pretty far away and still get the fish if i hit it. The only problem with when i go polespear fishing is that if the fish happens to come off my tip it swims away and usually dies somewhere i cant find. The thing i like about using the speargun is that the fish cant get away from me as easily.

Yeah I always feel a bit guilty when that happens. Towards the end of last season I try a flopper on my pole spear, but I soon went back to the paralyzer. I sometimes do get some bigger fish and the paralzer as the name suggests really stops the fish.
It's when I don't get enogh penetration the poor fish gets of and joins the food chain early.

Fondueset, I've seen you mention them before. I've search for them but with no luck, I have a feeling they maybe custom made things. the closet things I could find were on the following site,

handspearguns

but they come with a fair price tag.
