$ Spear ? $

[Laska]

How much would you pay for a brand new amish made spear? Ive seen various prices and dont have a clue on whats good n whats bad...

I saw a pearson spear from the 40-1950's era its a 6 tine on a certain auction site is that thing worth anything its only going for 15 bucks right now lloks to be in alright condition too...

Im looking for a spear too let me know what ya find!!

[merkman]

Most any spear is worth $15

Very few aren't

I think the new amish are going between $99 up to something like $175

[Laska]

one like I have now for $58 7tine its a lakco replica that thread together, the pearson 6tine is at $15 right now, amish between $125 and $175

Id rather trade decoys for spears and stuff like that tho right merk

[merkman]

ya and you can test drive them that way too.

If you don't like them then go down the purchase path.

I paid $100 for my 7 tine amish spear last year.

[buckhunter21]

I bought an amish made one for about $75 a couple years ago. My buddy bought one last year for around $175 i think so theres a pretty wide price range. Just depends on how much your willing to spend on one.

[Gordie]

most amish spears that are mild steel are around $75.00-$100.00

when you get into the stainless steel amish spears thats when the price goes way uo $160.00-$185.00

there are a lot of look alikes also that will do the job for far less.I bought one this spring at a garage sale that was made by Milton Belts he was a spear maker back in the 40's I got it for 20 bucks and it throws nicer than anything Ive ever thrown. I have to thank merk for finding out about the spear I had no clue other than it was hand forged.

if you do some home work you will still find a couple of spearmakers but be willing to pay the price or shop the net,talk to a welder to see what you can come up with.

[Eastman2003]

I think I will do that before I throw down 200 bucks for a spear.

this is a range that i was thinking. The laser spears are in the same ball park as well!

who is using the lazer cut spears and how do you like them? I would have to believe that the barbs are stronger on those

[merkman]

I had some laser cut spear heads made 2 years ago and welded the handles to them.

I really like them for straight down spearing.

They have much better penetration than anything else I have tried.

The heavier spear knocks the fish out right away.

Of course I am comparing these to other "cheap" spears.

I don't have and have never used a Dillo Style spear.

I am not sure the two are even in the same ballpark.

From what I hear a Dillo style is far better.

i use one now, and love it. Dont have to worry about the bars braking, or sharping them back up. It seems to be alot strong too, and the tins have no give at all!

It makes a difference on the material and gauge of the material on the laser cut spears.

[merkman]

Ya, on mine I hardened the tips but left the tines unhardened.

If you do hit something you want the tines to bend and not break. If the tines are hardened then there is a chance of them being brittle and breaking.

Correct. Make sure if your going to buy one, you spend a little extra, and get the good stuff!

Laska,

I know you're a ways away from Long Prairie but that's where I picked up my Amsih spear last year. I went directly to the fellow's house and picked it up there and paid $95 for it. That's cheaper then anywhere I've seen them in stores. I can get you some contact info for him if you'd like. I'm very happy with it.

[Laska]

Spunds like I might have something lined up for a amish spear for hopefully 95 but ill let ya know

I'm using a lazer cut right now I'm 9/10 with it, got make sure ur dead nuts with it tho, but overall I love it just lookin at gettin a better one...

[bassNspear]

why do you wanta get a different one if your money with the one oyu have now? Dad needs one?

[Gordie]

theres always more than one to skin a cat
