Spear weight question

[MJ1657]

I'm going to upgrade spears for next season.The spear that Spearhead bought from Roger Cook is exactly what i'm looking for as far as style. My only concern is the weight of the spear(8-9pounds). My current spear is just a generic spear that weighs 4.5 pounds.

What's your guys thoughts on spear weight and has anyone else made that jump and how did it go?

That sounds heavy guess your going to have to do more barley curls! Wish I could help but I went lighter than what I have...

[MJ1657]

Im going to start some of them curls in just a few minutes.

[Laska]

lucky Ill be doing decoy curls for the next 10hrs. Just cut out 22 more yesterday plus the 25 I already have going... busy busy spear a pike for me would ya... Are you going to spearfest MJ?

[NDpikepoker]

personally i like a heavy spear with really good barbs that way when u spear a big pike you can just let it lie on the bottom and get the fight out of him before you bring him up. with a heavier spear he has a tougher time wiggling loose off the spear. plus if its sharp it will bury itself all the way in with just a drop of the spear instead of a throw. more accurate i guess

That makes sense nd. How about angled shots?

Laska, sounds like me and archery sniper are going to ride down to spearfest together.

[Laska]

cool! Should be alot of fun!

IMO there's no need to be taken too many crazy low percentage outside the hole shots. Unless your spearing Whitefish in which case that's the only shot you seem to get. That's when I like the little Dillo that thing throws like a dart.

So to answer your question it's not the greatest spear for outside shots, gravity likes that spear alot.

Thanks spearhead thats what I was curious about.

[Archerysniper]

I could drive mine out to the shack now for you to use tomorrow till I get off of work.

[MJ1657]

Next time you sit in my house ill have to try yours out.

Im one of those guys that change doesnt come real easy for me.

[Archerysniper]

I have been doing some searching on my spear and still not finding any info. From what I have found it is back weighted and designed for deeper water.

[MJ1657]

Its a nice spear. The length of them tines you could spear about 3 fish at once.

[Laska]

woop woop just ordered a custom fabeck Ill have it for next season!

I have the same Roger Cook spear that Spearhead has thanks

I throws awsome and It has hit everything thing I 've thrown at this season.

[NDpikepoker]

spearhead's right about angle shots with a heavy spear. i take some angle shots with my heavy hitter but i dont get too crazy with the angle. but 1 things for sure. that heavy spear wont sail off course on an angle shot.

[Laska]

hows a fabeck with angles?

Are you bringing it to the gtg Elwood?

[Gordie]
