All About Pole Spears & Slings What is it about that traditional method of the early hunter/gatherers under the water? These devices are indeed interesting and effective. |

Re: bamboo polespear?
I mean drill through the whole thing. Down the center , through each compartment. When you go in the water hold it tip down so all the air goes out. If after that, ballast as needed. I like a neutral in saltwater spear or gun, when loaded.

Re: bamboo polespear?
This old Japanese dude figured it out. Apparently he's out there slaying it with a bamboo polespear. The end notes scroll by really fast, but from what I can make out he cut some bamboo from up in the mountains to make his bamboo polespear.

Re: bamboo polespear?
This sounds really nice
Would it be cheating... if you put one layer of fiber glass cloth on/around it? The layer would be totally transparent so would keep that valued wood look. And it would add strength

Re: bamboo polespear?
This isn't bamboo, but the idea is similar - a hardwood stick, and bungie cords.

Re: bamboo polespear?
Project has been on a slight backburner (making a living is getting in the way lol). Im going to pick a straight piece and cut it and lay it flat to dry out, sand it and then im thinking of wrapping it in fiberglass tape with clear epoxy or carbon fiber. But the carbon will killed the "look" ..
I would love to know how the Japanese guy fixed the tip to the bamboo, any ideas? |
