Hi guys! I haven't visited the forum for a long time now but I think it's time to because of my new project...
Anyway! I wanted to ask you about it because you're a very helpful community and since no one else in the whole island fishes with polespear (I live in Corfu, Greece ... Maybe we are 3 people in the whole country that fish with polespear)
So the first time I heard about polespear it was when i made my first post. I saw a guy from Cyclades (Greece) fish with his homemade polespear and it inspired me to build my own too... I've been fishing successfully with a 4 or 5 foot aluminium polespear that i bought for 15 euros and i want to make a biger now for more power and reach.
I'm thinking about buying a 2 meter aluminium pipe and cut it in sections of 1.30m and 50cm (the other 20cm won't be used I want to make a 6' polespear) and put a male or a female 6mm screwing thing (don't know what is called) in each pipe sho i can transport it easily and put and a 6mm thread (I just remebered how it's called!) on top for mounting the tips (usualy slip tip and 5 prong paralyser)...
Im also thinking buying a carbon fiber pipe from ebay 12mmx10mmx1000mm and cut it down to 50cm as a top section so it can bend when i hit big fish and not stay like that like aluminium (also carbon fiber just looks plain cool) i found that for about 10 euros. But should i get a tube or a rod and what do you suggest?
Oh, and can i put double bands on the pole spear? Il be using 3/8 surgical tubing for bands...
Thanks in advance and happy spearfishing!
