Excellent spear with one minor problem
By Chris Berberich
I purchased this spear with the specific task of killing Lionfish. I was between this and the folding spear on the elastic band. I am much happier with the threaded ends as you can adjust the length as desired.Unlike the other review here, I found the paralyzer tip to be far more effective and was glad I took both tips down with me on the dive. My only complaint is that after Killing about the first 100 Lions, the elastic shock band snapped at the point where it connects to the pole. The design here is kind of crappy and I immediately regretted not buying the replacement. As I was in a poorly equipped place, the remedy for the rest of my dives was to try and use a hacked loop which greatly diminished the fire power of the spear.The remaining piece of elastic was showing severe stress at the point where it connects to the end cap, so my advice to the diver is buy a few replacements. Kinda wish they would package another with it or maybe devise an end that can be configured by the diver with the torn piece.For Lionfish I found that using 2 sections (4 feet) was ideal, as trying to fire the full size in caves and tight areas was tricky.For the best results hunt in a pair. One guy spears the other makes the kill and bag.Lionfish are easy to hit and generally found in small groups, but if you don't decapitate them, they will get away. I was amazed at the damage I did to some and they would wriggle away.Aim for the area right around the head then while on the end, use a knife (my suggestion is a longer blade to avoid getting quilled)I would stab right behind the gills and remove from the spear tip while holding the face of the lion. Then use the knife to sever the spinal cord (do it right and the serated edge would be in the direction of the spine) then tear the head off while holding the body from the underside. This also proves to be an effective gutting move. Wear gloves!Then bag it and using a scissor on shore to remove the quills and fins, open up the belly completely and scale. And ready to cook. The fish is delicious but beware of the stings.Also be careful with the standard netting bug bag as the quills stick out. We ended up using a roadside sack that was holding debris from construction. this did the trick for a while but ended up getting torn on coral.Happy Hunting.

By Michael Digennaro
I purchased this pole spear after going on several lionfish hunting trips in the Caribbean. These poisonous invasive fish need to be "tagged and bagged." This pole spear allows us to easily take multiple fish on each dive. It is light and maneuverable - very good for nailing fish hanging out on coral heads or wrecks.

By Peter F. Gawne
I purchased this spear for travel and have been completely satisfied. It breaks down well, and fits into my luggage. I found it very accurate and easy to use. I was not a huge fan of the paralyzer tip, but it also comes with a rock point which I greatly prefer.
