Why are speartips tri cut?

Patco sell a broad head tip for spearfishing, you can see them here. Patco Inc sells spearguns, spearfishing accessories, spear guns, speargun accessories, aqua guns, and scuba diving equipment The blades of the Patco broad head speartips would need to be kept straight with respect to their alignment with the shaft axis or they would act as steering vanes. How they stand up to repeated impacts and fish struggles that laterally load up the shaft in terms of retaining this alignment would be important.

!!!!!that red snapper Don is insane, they are like a bigger angrier version of our Mangrove jack, which is extensivly hunted... with mixede results, they are challanging fish t0o shoot and difficult to find with any size. a 20lb fish is a trophy and anything over 10lb is a GOOD fish.

well impressed with powering a blunt point through it,... benefits of big rubber power we are a little more delicate on our fish (not as delicatye as the european diver though) so trying to push a pencil point through one at range with a standard rail gun would be interesting.

I like to get close as the dog snapper are like the pit bull of the sea.
This fish came very close to drowning me,he wanted back in his cave at 90'
and I short lined him back to the surface. I had to swim against the current
on a deep pinnacle to get the shot and the fight back the the sun light was a long one. It ended my day of diving as my legs were gone from the near black out.

Cheers, Don
 
Dude, Don't you stop the boat for the hero shot? It looks like the "Pee Wee"

He He ...good eyes Mark, we were trying to get the off the bank and away from the 25' seas chasing our stern while underway.
A big green one over the stern while 105 miles offshore is never a good thing.

Cheers
