Spear cover

[drakerebel]

How does everyone cover their spear?

the spears that i had given to me just came with some chunks of wood that the tines were stuck into.

where i have looked i really haven't seen anything of this sort but perhaps that someone has some inginuity and made a slick cover.

.....or maybe to liven the conversation up, has your tines ever stuck something that you never meant them to???

I went to a craft store in Duluth (Michael's) and found a small block of craft foam. Stuck the spear in the first time and hasn't really loosened up ever since. Tines/points stay sharp, although I sharpen them a couple times a season anyway.

Cheap, inexpensive way to cover up your spear. Used to use a wood block many years ago, but like the foam better.

thanks for the idea

I agree.

Pink (or blue) Rigid Foam Insulation works great too... and it's Hillbilly approved!!!

cut out a square of cardboard, fold it and wrap a bunch of duct tape around it.

i have used wood block with holes drilled, but have seen red water hose split lenght ways

ya, i like the idea of using wood. but i'd have to get fancy and break out the router and misc tools and such.

i have time to do this since someone's blowing hot air and keeping the ice off the lakes

but, i'm also thinking of using the thermo-former and making a hinged cover with rubber inserts to encompass the tines when closed.

how do i apply for a "Hilly-Billy" patent???

[drakerebel]

i'll come up with my "proof of concept", but i'll need an address to the shanty that i need to send paperwork to.
