South Bend 5 Tine Fish Spear

I actually bought this to spike my lawn. I needed to seed small patches of dirt on my lawn without digging up the area. I needed something to create holes. I looked all over for a lawn tool, then I remembered seeing a spear in one of my fishing catalogs.After I added a wooden handle, this spear is very sturdy and really did the job. After about 20 or so patches, the barbs and points were still intact. If this product holds up in dirt, just image how it will hold up spearing fish. I highly recommend this product.

This is a pretty big head compared to all my buddies, but it is far superior. If you can stun the frog you won't miss with this tool. All my buddies say "it has a bigger blast radius!" I got 15 frogs in about 1 hour the other day and not one slipped off. The points are extremely sharp, and the barbs are still great. I'm sure with any sharp object you will have sharpen it after a lot of use, but 2 times out and about 60 frogs have met their maker. I couldn't be more pleased with this head.... Amazing quality, sturdy, sharp, and you don't have to worry about hitting rocks or anything. Stop reading this and just buy it. You will not be disappointed.

I bought 4 for me and my 3 sons to spear ruff fish on the mississippi i go TV them for the price ghb but was suprise to find them with such quality they held up against first time spearers in the mississippis rocky bottom river it was a great buy and will with stand the time

Seller shipped right away, and item arrived in a timely manner. Quality is fair for the price paid, and this fish spear is small enough that it can serve double duty as a frog gig as well. Unit seems more than strong enough for the task at hand. tines will bend by hand using a LOT of force.. And will bend if you strike a hard enough object (ROCK) But if the weld holds good you will be able to bend it back into shape.. I think this piece can be made much stronger where the tines connect to the barrel end, but for the price paid its not bad.. If I had to rely on this for feeding myself in an emergency situation, I would have a backup...Or be very very careful when throwing it..

Killed fish

In description it said it was for fish not frogs

This product is listed as a FISH spear, but after receiving it, it is obviously a FROG spear. I bought this spear for spearing Suckers and Carp. Unfortunately, it is too small to be effective for these species. The packaging clearly states it is a Frog spear. Had the listing on Amazon indicated this, or if a picture would have been included which actually showed the packaging, this would have been obvious before I purchased it and I would have ignored this product and continued looking for something more suitable.I tried to ascertain the dimensions of the product before purchasing it, but the dimensions listed on the Amazon listing say it is 3.3x3.3x1 inches, which makes no sense. Instead, I had to rely on answered questions. The top answer indicated it was 6" wide, though some answers said 4" wide. I have no idea what sort of ruler those respondents were using, but when measured using Imperial Inches, the spear I received is only about 3.25" wide from outer tine to outer tine.After receiving the product, I now see that the packing says it is "7 inches"....whatever that means. Regardless, this makes no sense either, since not a single dimension of the product is that large. I have attached pictures to show the true dimensions. From the tip of the longest tine to the mouth of the mounting hole, it is about 6.25" tall. As mentioned, from outer tine to outer tine, it is about 3.25" wide. The tines themselves are roughly 3" long. I wasn't as concerned about the size of the mounting hole, but for anyone who is curious, the mouth of the mounting hole is about 15/16" wide and tapers slightly, probably to about 5/8" wide.I did not end up using this product, so I cannot comment on the sturdiness from experience. However, based on a visual inspection of how it is constructed, I would be surprised if it lasted long when using on anything larger than frogs since it is merely spot welded in a few places. Based on past experience with other spears of similar construction, the welds will break after a short time and the tines will fall off.Overall, I was disappointed with this product, mostly due to poor or inaccurate specifications on the Amazon listing.

Works great for what I wanted it for
