I know this question is asked every year but I think I'm going to semi retire my grandpas spear and am going to buy a new one. I was thinking about spending around $150.00. I thought I saw that there is a guy around Plato or Hutchinson Bass n Spear I figure you will know. Thanks

Deerhunter,

The guy from Plato is Mark Wilkens You can Google double diamond spears to get more info. They are going to run a lot more than $150.

For a great spear that will be past on for generations for around $175 I would give Lee J Moening from St. Cloud a call. He makes a balanced spear that will throw much better than any laser or plasma type spear.

Also google Fabeck Big Maple Spears. These are very good spears, but I am not sure of the price. Our old buddy Stiff ordered one, but I haven't seen it yet. They combine the essential elements of a Kreamer spear, with a few modifications.

All those are very nice spears!!!

And you can't go wrong with any of them.

I believe most if not all of these guys support the various darkhouse assn chapters around the state.

There is also Roger Cook from Mizpah, MN who makes a very nice old style forged spear.

Go to one of the decoy shows, and then you will be able to see most of the different options all in one place. Plus you will be able to get a better look and feel for each one before you buy.

Nice, you know how to get a hold of him Merk? I picked one up similar to that last fall.

ER This is the year we get together for a day of spearing. I saw some really nice fish down in your neck of the woods late last year. Shoot me an email, I can't seem to find yours.

I would love to have one of them beautiful custom spears. Funny thing is everytime I think about gettting one I look at my "cheap" spear I bought from Holiday Plus (remember those stores?)years ago that throws so nice and true I just can't do it.

Deerhunter - I bought a Mike Fabeck spear last fall. I love it. Stainless shaft, knurled copper handle. He made me a nine tine. Throws straight as an arrow, no deflection at all. I think I paid around $180.00 or so. Well worth the money. Comes with a nice tine guard. Hope this helps. Fabeck is in Melrose, Mn.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
