So I'm really really new, and having some trouble with my first pole spear.
So I've been diving a couple times with my pole spear which has a six point barbed tip and I'm not having much luck. I have hit many fish during my dives and most of the time it just bounces off. I don't know if the fish I'm hitting are too small or if the points just don't penetrate. But I have done a little bit of research on youtube and most other people I see are instead using slip tips and ice picks, should I be using them instead or am I doing something wrong. It is also fair to point out I stretch the rubber all the way to the tip, so my spear is going as fast as it can go.
Thanks in advance
