Hawaiian Slings

[flyboy107@gmail.com]

Hey Everyone,

Ive been looking around to start spear fishing, but decided against buying a gun yet, and I have been looking at Hawaiian slings. What can you tell me about them? How do they work, and tips and tricks would be great, also, I go to ft lauderdale Florida a lot, so would I be able to use it there? Would I need a private charter or are there places I could use it that are shore accessible?

Thanks

Buy a pole spear instead of a Hawaiian sling. You dont have to go chase the shaft down after you fire it and much easier to use.

What's the difference? Can't you modify a Hawaiian sling with a line?

tha hawaiian sling doesnt have the shaft attached to the block or rubber. You could get a line for it but that can decrease accuracy. The pole spear is basically a shaft with a rubber on the end and all one piece that is easier to use.

So then after shooting a fish, do you just pull it up by the end of the sling? I guess I'm just confused in how it works, like how to shoot it and everything

No just slide back down the tip end. put a tip on that has the ring to hold the tips wings down and slide it right off
