Started building a pair of pole spears so we can catch some fish. Keeping it simple I used some industrial fiberglass rods, surgical tubing, rope, metal rod, metal tubing and epoxy.
Since we will have to store them often a removable tip seemed like the best idea. While this added a lot of work to a simple project in the long run it will hopefully be worth while. Here I am tapping the inside of the metal so I can then insert a threaded piece of rod that will allow the spear tip to thread onto the pole.
First spear all done. It is 6' plus the tip. Went with a three prong paralyzer that unscrews for easy storage. The next spear will more than likely be a 5' and have a single barb for larger fish. Hopefully the next time you see this it will have some food on the end!
