I need some help choosing spear-tips for 7mm threaded shafts. There's too many to choose from and I can't find any useful info about this.
So, I'm fishing shallow waters with rocks that could bend spears. Damage from those rocks are a big concern.
Small fish for now, like small-mouth bass. And then northern-pike when I learn more. A few questions, if you don't mind.
1) A single-flopper-conical-tip looks like it would work well for my needs. Is there a better shape I should consider?
2) What are the advantages/disadvantages of multi-prong spears? Should I get 3, 4 or 5 prongs? Is there a notable difference between "light prongs" and "heavy prongs" ?
Salimar has like 15 different types of multi-prong spearheads, which is crazy. And little information behind them all.
3) Do all spear-tips have universal fittings? If I buy a salvimar shaft, will all of salvimar's spear-tips fit just fine, or do I have to match something?
