No offence to you Miles, I am sure you are a fine spearo, we all have our opinions
Powerheads aren't about killing a lot of fish, I have sizes from .22 to 44 mag depending on the need, I rarely take but a few fish at one time no matter what method I use, as far as sporting, frankly I don't hunt for 'sport,' though it may seem semantical to some, I hunt because I am a hunter, I also want to take fish for food, and esp. with larger fish it is safer with a powerhead, and a necessity for dangerous game. It prevents you from getting dragged to the bottom or wound up in line, but if you are spearing for the fun of the fight then simply don't use them; I usually do hunt with regular tips (mostly actually), but I love using powerheads, and if you spearfish solo it is also an edge in a prickly situation, and other than that I could care less about the taboo that many seem to place on the use of powerheads..
As far as personal attacks I think you should address that to the user who called me a dumbass.
Happy spearfishing, zeN
