Looking for a mini spear.

[XxMerlinxX]

Hello all, I recently saw a video where a diver took out a lionfish with a small spear that seemed like it was only about 2' long. I've been looking around online and can only seem to find spears in the 4'-6' range. Was I hallucinating or does a smaller spear like this actually exist?

X-Man,

If you do not want to spend all that money for the mini-spear, if you have a speargun already or if you want to buy a cheep one to carry, try the SPEAGEAR speargun holster.
FY2011, SPEARGEAR will donate $5.00 of each holster purchase to REEF. This Organization will use the money to educate and do research on the loinfish problem. Just another alternative. Please PM me or go to The Official SPEARGEAR Site. Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) | Diving That Counts

I sell The Frapper and lion fish liontamer. The latter works best imo...

Ditto, I use the LionTamer also. Fast, quick, small and easy to carry. I'm up to 83 kills since June 2010. Ohh yaa,,,$30.

I know Jupiter Dive Center Scuba Diving Jupiter with Jupiter Dive Center, Scuba diving lessons at a PADI 5 Star facility, daily scuba diving trips in Jupiter, Florida. sells a 2 ft pole spear with a paralyzer tip for ~ 35 bucks.
The frapper is cool. similar to something I'm working on.

The lion tamer works. Seen lots in action.

They all will work.. . But you need to make sure that you use a kill spike. Lionfish can keep on cruising with a hole or two in them and all you've done is teach them to be afraid of scubadivers.

Check out Leisurepro.com. I use a 22" that I modified to accept an extra band. It can stick a spear through a Lingcod skull, and works fine in thick kelp forests.

Found another option at acuspear.com that looks similar to the E.L.F. My only question would be how long the stainless steel spring that operates both devices lasts before starting to corrode.

The elf has been in use for over 1 year and no breakdown or corrosion
