Hawaiian Sling Fishing Spear Set - Travel Fiberglass Pole Spear Harpoon for Spearfishing with 3 Prong Paralyzer Tips 5' - Also Includes Sharpener & Travel Bag

Used in the Bahamas and had a good experience. Like the portability and attachments. Well made and held up to the elements.

Wish it came with the sharpener

I used it and it was a described and caught fish with it!

Cheap metal, the tips bend from slight impact. I had to stop diving to straighten and resharpen the tips after only a couple shots. You will need to replace the tip.

My future son-in-law is a diver, and he likes to snorkel as well. So my daughter and I decided this would be a nice gift for him for when they go to Hawaii. I was amazed that you could actually keep a spear fishing kit from tearing it's way out of the box or bag, but they had a great rubber stopper that goes at the end of the 3-prong spear which keeps it from breaking away, or injuring anyone unintentionally. It is very easy to assemble, with the 2 part handle and the sharp tip. And the prongs are crazy sharp! I pity the fish... There is a long file to sharpen the tips more after you actually use it for a long while, which is pretty cool. I like the carrying case, so you can take things with you without worry, and everything is intuitive, so although there are no instructions included, you just look at it and get how it works. The school-bus yellow color of the handle is also chic and sleek, so you can find it easy under water in case you drop things in murky conditions. Well packaged in plastic so nothing gets scratched even in shipping, so you could easily gift it to your relative who likes underwater sports! Fiberglass handle means it's much lighter than a harpoon! Impressed with the design and thought that went into this item. A+ from me. Glad I got this gift for him.

It’s too thick and heavy for spearfishing. Also, the length of the sphere does not allow a full tension on the rubber spring

Haven't had a chance to use in the water yet but it dry-fires like a champ. Well made and no doubt will get the job done.

I'm excited to use this soon, and I'm sure it will perform just from handling it. Here are my notes: I believe the pole sections themselves are hollow. Assembled, I gave it the bend test against the floor and flexed it about 3 inches, but it was very stiff. I'm sure it will handle any shots you could possibly make with this size spear. The section fittings and tip are stainless steel, non magnetic and fit well. Seems to be a chrome coating on the stainless fittings, which will most likely corrode fast, no getting around that. I think once that happens I'll hit them with my wire wheel and then soak in coffee overnight to blue them. You could add bands if you wanted to, switch tips if you use the right thread. It breaks down small enough to go in baggage and the bag is very handy and has room for many accessories if needed. The file is not usable... but only because it is huge and has no handle. It appears to be a quality file actually as I did use it to sharpen the rounded tip of a punch I use and it was harder than the punch steel... so I'll happily add a handle and use it in my shop, but a much, much smaller file would be far more appropriate for this. There are no instructions, but if you need instructions to screw together two sections of fiberglass and loop a lanyard on the end of the handle you probably shouldnt have a pole spear until you learn a little more about spearfishing. In all, its a great travel spear. I saw one bad review, maybe that one was damaged in shipping because I have no complaints. Make sure you rinse it with fresh water, dry and wipe with oil after use and it should last a good long time.
