Re: Polespear Build - Titanium?

I bought a titanium rod years ago to use as a sling shaft. When it arrived, I felt like it was too light weight to have enough punch. Might have been good for hogfish or smaller fish, but I didn't feel it had the beef for a grouper. Never prosecuted the idea. I think I still have the shaft lying around somewhere.

With a polespear, the extra length and diameter might give you just the weight you need.

I started with pole spears and have tested several of the new ones on the market, but for the Bahamas, I just prefer a sling.

Sounds interesting and good luck!
