Im personally not a big fan of laser cut spears. I've thrown one and didn't it seemed like it sailed a little bit. That being said maybe with some more practice I would have got used to it. I know alot of guys use them and do just fine. My advice is buy the best spear you can afford. They wil last you a lifetime.

I have one of the Amish made ones. Atleast that is what I was told by the guys on here once I bought it. I paid just over $100 I think. I have used it for 2 years now and have been very happy with it. This was my first spear when I started and still my only spear. I would recommend it, although I haven't used any others so I have nothing to compare it too. Good luck with what ever you get, I think I am more excited for spearing then I was for Bow season this year.

hi guys i bought the amish made one for $120 sure looks nice thanks for the help guys

I used the amish spear for 2 years, never had a issue with it til I stuck a 10 lber and it started to swim away with it because it was so light, I made one myself this year thats heavier by 2x compared to a Fabeck... Cant wait to use it! Good luck spearing with the amish spear, take a pliers and bend the barbs out a little bit and you'll never lose a fish! Its well worth the pennies imo!

This most likely had to do with shot placement vs spear weight. It's far more difficult to make an accurate shot with a heavy spear unless all of your shots are vertical. I assume your using a 9 tine Fabeck, unless your spearing Sturgeon I can't imagine needing more weight? For a beginner I think a little lighter is better. A well placed shot and a quick retrieve should get them every time.
