How much did you pay for your spear. Guys will pay $500.00+ for a deer rifle that they may shoot once or twice if there lucky but dont want to spent much on a good spear. post a pic of yours maybe Gordie can post mine fish4u

I have one that I made and I have one that my father made in 1956 that I used to quite a few years.

I found a Milton Belts hand madespear a garage sale for $20.00 and I would part with it for any amount of money.This spear is the nicest spear I have ever thrown and I belive it was made in the 40's.

I also purchased a Roger Cook spear Last year that I think I paid $170.00 or but cant remember or maybe I dont want to grin and It throws like a dream.

I spent 35 dollars for mine about 15 years ago at fleet farm. I also buy them at auctions. My dad has a nine tine Randall that I will evEntually inherit. If I ever find one like it at auction or garage sale I would be willing to pay quite a bit.

$150-Amish

I was beginning to wonder you have been awful quiet this winter.

I have no idea on the price of mine but it's nice and priceless to me. It's was a extremely close friend of mines. I got it after he passed of a heart attack while hunting on the Wyoming side of the black hills. I can still hear his deep belly chuckle like it was yesterday and can't help but feel he's sitting in the house watching down the hole with me.

My first one was a five tiner for five bucks. I added two more tines and a steel handle. I've bought two Brainerd spears, one for thirty and one for fortyfive. I've made six, but gave three away for presents. I haven't seen one too heavy yet.

I have three. My dad bought them for himself, me and my brother. One is a 1972, mine is a 1980, and my brothers is a 1979. My dad passed away and my brother moved out of state so I have all three. I think the oldest is a Heine Louis and the other two were made by Storms welding in Cologne? I have seen the used ones listed for $500. I will never sell them, I will pass them on to my children. My 12 year old speared his first this past weekend. I hope to use one at the GTG on Saturday if I can make it.

The Henry Lewis style spears in the pictures are great. I bought one from a private party for $125.00 about 20 years ago. It has a walnut handle and I will never sell it. I have heard they go at auctions for close to $1000.00. I knew Henry personally. He died many years ago, but his pattern lives on. Good luck.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
