spear tying

[coombia21]

i am going to pear for my first time today but i am not sure what kind of rope to use to tie to my spear and where should i tie the other end of the rope to in my otter lodge

thanks for the help

I don't think it realy matters what kind of rope you use. Just as long as it is not too heavy.

As far as tying it off, I use to use a slip not and go around my wrist. Now I just loop it around the leg of my chair. I think you could latch it to anything sturdy, so you don't lose it down the hole.

Good Luck

I use parachute cord.

Good luck.

Dont need anything too fancy for rope. Not sure what kind I have but its just like a standard size white rope. Then on the other end (opposite of the spear) create a knot that will slide with a loop. Stick your left hand through the loop(if your right handed, and throw with the right) and pull the knot tight. set all the loose rope on left side of your body and have the spear on the right to prevent tangleage when you go to toss the spear.

ditto. I used to tie a loop in it then put around my leg but in my perm shack I mounted a quick clip and just fasten it there so I dont have keep taking it off my leg/foot if I gotta go out side and its easier

i tie it around my hand so i can have full control of the rope when i throw it!

Safety tip- If you tie it to your leg, don't spear anything too big.

I use a big loop and slide it up to my elbow area on my left arm. Coil the rope on my left leg and have my left hand free to spear with. This leaves both of my hands free to fish while there are no pike around. I catch quite a few nice fish out of spear holes. It's awesome watching how the lures react to different jigging.

Good luck on your first trip!!!

why dont you tie it around the poles of your fish house

[merkman]

I tie mine to the corner pole of my fish house.

Then when I throw I let the rope slide through my hand as it is traveling. After it hits (or misses ) I clamp my hand around the rope to stop the spear.

you can do it either way, i just like to have it on my wrist, so i have control of it!
