Figured this thread could use some closure. I picked up my pole from Linghunt on sunday, super stoked with how the repair turned out.
The slip-tip is frigging awesome.
I was able to take the pole out yesterday in Trinidad Bay, got some decent Blacks. The air temp yesterday was 38 degrees on the beach not counting the wind chill and the water was just over 50. I was pretty stoked to dive in water warmer than the air!
I hadn't used a spearpole in over a year so I was pretty pumped when all of my shots struck home. The tip performed flawlessy.
Thanks everybody who gave input on repairing my pole!
