My second polespear which was a telescopic Sea Hornet and when still new was given away to a friend's son as for sentimental reasons I stuck with my first polespear which is an Undersee with a brass main tube (chromed) and a stainless steel tubular telescoping section. Many fish have died under their “pranger” barbs which have been renewed and replaced on countless occasions. The handspear gun was OK to use, but I shot a lot more fish with the other one due to more rapid reloading for the next fish.
These two handspears were stolen out of my garage a few nights ago as I just noticed my garage door T-handle was in the open position this morning and as I never leave it that way I investigated. Have not worked out all that is missing, but they were the first items I went looking for in their usual spots and they have gone. Probably will appear on an auction site in the near future.

The burglars were very quiet as usually opening the door makes a noise, as does my swinging metal driveway gates. As my car is in a carport fronting the garage there was no other sign that anything had occurred, until I opened the garage door!
