I was talking with Mori the other day and he told me he has quite a bit of parts for these spears.
When Pete Riedel retired from making these spears Mori purchased the remaining stock and I believe he said tooling for making them as well.
This company is making Riedel copy spears. http://gorilladivingproducts.com/

helping out even at the expense of your own business is pretty commendable. :thumps:

Haven't seen or heard anything from these guys since 2 Sturgills ago. Seems like they came out, flared up and disappeared within the span of a year.

I was considering their spear vis a vis Aaron's when I was getting into the market for a beefier spear last winter, as I had seen their product in person at the weigh-in. I just never heard anything about them after that point and nobody I knew had their specific spear, which is essentially a copy of Charlie Sturgill's spear that Pete Reidel copied and made improvements to.

I ended up going with Aaron's because of the interchangeable front shanks, but that's another story. I'd be interested if anyone out there has one of the Gorilla polespears and has any input for the group.
