I was considering using Makos travel spear and getting the 3 prong tip for lion fish and using it as a tickle stick for bug also.Yes I agree with the above. You will need to develop excellent stalking skills and make use of quick reaction time, especially for snappers.
You might also consider a speargun. Something like a 100 cm MAKO Predator speargun will be far more effective for most people and the increased range and power will probably result in increased productivity. A gun like that would be under $190 shipped.
