Very nice! How did it do in a water test?

First time in, it was still floating. Added a little more lead, and it was looking good. Working on getting it painted now. Going with white, purple, and red glitter paint.

Wish it didn't take so long for epoxy to dry. 72 hours to fully set. Then I can put the tail blade back on, and it will be finished.

Blizzard like conditions and schools are closed around me today and my better half is a teacher, so I headed out to my little welding shop to hide!... I really like how this one is shaping up

Looking great, I actually went out to my smithy and cleaned up to get ready to forge a spear for Limbshot. First time I’m worked on a spear in a while, lol
Made some progress, got the tines cut and hot slit the boss in the shaft, I have to file alittle to even it out some.

I really love that design! Has alot of resemblance of a high sought after make!

I have a good start on my sturgeon spear. The narrow spot holds a 5/16 wood dowel for a breakaway. I'll have to test it on some unfortunate pike this weekend.

My third decoy I rushed and it barely swam and weighed about a pound. Never took after the first few times. So tonight I got out the tin snips and dremel grinder and 30 minutes later I now have a wobbler!

Heading to the paint booth soon!

That's Poseidon worthy!

I played around today and started my third spear build today. Ran outta time material so I couldn’t finish it. Just gotta build three more tines and do some finish work then paint. still little green on the brazing but they seam to stay together and the first 2 I built fly straight and hold fish well.

I haven't seen this before, but I have thought of it. You made a spear with what looks like carp arrow tips.
Have you tried a spear like this? It just seems to me that it would be so much better.
Dull a point? Screw in a replacement!
I've seen some barbs that were barely 3/16". With the arrowheads, there's no slipping through the meat on the way up!

I'm fairly new to the game, but I just don't see the downside. Is there one?

 

[Jack47.5]

I don't see any down side at all they have amazing holding strength. 10-20 pound belly shot carp With one of these on a arrow usually don't get off until you twist the tip to reverse the barbs. These are my opinion the best fishing arrow tips out there, the fit perfectly over 5/16 4140 round steel for brazing

Slowly getting there. Got some mail, finally opened the new shack and grabbed a couple more decoys.
