Questions & Answers

William H : What size tips fit this spear?Sam S : The Aluminum 6' Travel Polespear uses tips wit 6 mm threads.IAN R : All JBL Spear Tips with 6mm threads will work.
Art B : Does the entire length need to be used or can a spear tip be placed on the end of each length? Basically, can the pole spear be used at 2ft or 4ft? Thanks, ArtMIKE K : Yes, I have actually done that for short distances, cramped area and in the rocks.WILLIAM G : This is a 6ft pole spear and the spear can NOT be placed on any of the break down sections. So no, you can not make it a 6ft or 4ft or 2ft spear.
CINDY P : I am looking to purchase this as a gift for my husband. What other tips or accessories should I consider?VIOLIN D : It has the two most commonly used tips, so you shouldn't be purchasing any additional ones. Let your husband decide if he needs any others than those included in the set.RICHARD M : Good choice for traveling. I used mine on lion fish near Cozumel and it worked fine. The question about accessories could be a little involved. As with everything it depends on the specifics of what he is going to use it for. In general, scuba divers are gearheads so they just cant get enough equipment. More tips is probably the answer. I am considering a range of powerheads (single-shot guns basically) for my spear. 12 gauge and .25 caliber to start with. The idea is to hunt bigger fish...AARON C : I havent been in the water much the last couple years, but here was my impression as a beginner I found that the system was great as it was. if he plans to shoot bigger fish there are tip extensions and break away systems. After some experience myself, I met some other spearos and we added some self almagamating tape from the hardware store to make a better grip, and also created a better system for the band(including stronger band and dycron wishbone cord) so that it could shoot a bit faster. with use and time, the band will have to be replaced eventually. it is not a big affair to change it out It might be a bit slow for his liking if he is an experienced spearfisherman. There are other faster, spears out there. For the price, not all are as strongly built as this one thoughJOSH P : It is a great product. I purchased a 2 ft extention it gives you more reach.
Shopper : does this gun come with bag?COLBURN N : Well it is not a gun its a pole spear, and yes it comes with a soft plastic travel case. It kinda rolls up but no handle or sling or anything.GLENN M : yes, there is a bag as pictured.... it is not a "gun" .. you put the rubber band between your thumb and forefinger and then grasp the shaft as far up as possible ... to "fire" it, you relax your grip and the rubber band propels the shaft forward ... i like mine very muchGLENN M : yes, look closely at the picture and enlarge if you can ... the bag pictured is unrolled. ... each of the sections and the spear point roll up nicely ... you cannot see the velcro straps to keep the bag closed ... i like my travel spear ... i bought an extra section and the bag and velcro straps can still contain the extra shaft section .... .... a "break away" point is another worthwhile upgrade.LARRY K : Yes, a plastic one just as you see in the picture!PATRICK G : It comes with a plastic pouch as seen in the picture. When all parts are in the pouch you roll it up and tie. I only use my spear a couple of trips a year so the pouch is ok, but if you were to use your spear often I feel the pouch would not last long.JEREMY M : Yes it does come with the pouch shown in the picture.JOHNNY H : Yes, Just like is indicated in the picture. It has a Velco fastener for the cover flap. The bag is plastic and has compartments for each portion of the spear. Overall functional storage/carry bag.MARK F : It came with a bag when I purchased it in March 2009.JEFFERY C : Yes. Does come with a bag.
Shopper : Is this good for a first time spearer.? And besides thread, tips, slings and extentions, what are any other spaer ar lux parts would I have to know for buying and being ready to go in to the water?. First timerTHEODORE D : I purchased the JBL 6' Breakdown Travel Polespear (2D72) as a gift for my son who wanted an additional take-along spear to his double sling JBL speargun. If the JBL 6' Breakdown Travel Polespear (2D72) is purchased as a starter/first time spear, it could discourage the user from the sport since it is might only be effective for close up spearing of small fish. I would recommend spending an additional amount to buy either the JBL Explorer 24 Double Sling Speargun (4D24) or the JBL Sawed-Off Magnum Double Sling Spear Gun (4D44) both of which you can continue to use as you grow into the sport. Good luck and enjoy your diving experience.VINCENT V : This bad boy rocks! Be careful of losing the rubber tip on the trident.JAMIE S : Great for a beginner or an experienced spear fisherman. good for snorkeling or SCUBA. Different fish and different waters require different spear fishing equipment but this is a versatile product that will always have a place. Everything that you need is in the kit. Experienced Spear Fisherman.CHARLES A : This was my first time spear I love this spear. I just use the small end I don't put it all togetter it works get for me LEO S : There are different places on this rock that we call home. And regarding most of those places we can agree that we usually visit most of the same places. If they aren't the same places, they have either the same or similar landscapes and prey. This set-up as it is listed is an outstanding beginners' package. There are different locations on our planet that prohibit multiple band 'spear guns' but at the same time those same locations MAY allow the 'Hawaiian Sling' type of spear. I have bought this product and used it in different environments. It is pretty awesome. Superb mechanics. Time will tell on the warranty. Happy hunting!

Super Heavy Duty.

Just got back from Maui and wow is this thing killer. So much beefier than the Hawaiian Slings I saw out there. I also love the way it breaks down for packing/transporting.

Good product

The pole and case are very good for a travel set. I would buy again. The paralyzer tip is good for lion fish and that's about it. I can't even tell you how many hog snapper I miss before I switch to my trusty tip from my speargun and start slaying them. I've tried the tips that come with this and cannot recommend them.

Great size, quality, and price

It is a great spear. I spearfish fresh water and i can easily take it hiking or backpacking. Its durable and super light. The only downside is the case it comes in is kinda p00py.

Very Happy with this Spear

I have had so much fun with this spear. I've used it at full length and with 2 sections, it performed very well. It seems neutrally Boyant filled with air and was really fast. Pretty heavy when filled with water. Fits nicely in my dive bag. The only thing I'm concerned about is I hope the threaded ends hold up, seem fine but aluminum threads aren't that durable.

Well made

Fish can wiggle off the 3 prong tip and escape, you must be very close to the fish to penetrate. The product is well made compact in the case and works well, but personally, I prefer my speargun!

Great Polespear

I bought 2 pole spears and a travel gun, and go spearfishing 2-3 times per week. I have taken more fish with my jbl travel pole spear than anything else. I really appreciate how small it takes down to. I can easily stuff it in a backpack and go. the three prong tip that comes with it is perfect for reef fishing small to mid size fish. My girlfriend even managed to get a great Parotfish yesterday morning with three prongs in the head/gills. Only Con is it's made of aluminum. I don't believe aluminum to be a great material for salt water. Despite freshwater cleaning and maintenance, i know this spear will only last so long. I also purchased a carbon polespear at the same time and enjoy this one as well, however it doesn't break down as small so the JBL is the one that i prefer.

Great spear, very fast.

Great Spear. Perfect for traveling. The 6' measurement is without the tip, so it can be roughly 7 ft, or 5 ft, if you take out a link. It is extremely fast in the water. I love this spear.

Great product

Love this spear! You can make it the full length or two section, and even just the end piece if you would like. The Three prong spear tip is ideal and works well for small to medium fish.

Not bad for the money

I bought this pole spear to use instead of a JBL Explorer 30. While it has a better range, this 7' spear doesn't shoot as far as I would have expected. One thing that confused me from the included directions is JBL recommends filling it with water (so it's heavier and can shoot further). Well, I found the exact opposite to be true. A lighter pole spear, filled with air, will stay bouyant and shoot further, faster. I don't know why the heck they said that? Anyhoo, I would recommend this to someone who wants a durable beginner spear. I'm already wondering what I will buy next that's better?

Tag and Bag

I purchased this pole spear after going on several lionfish hunting trips in the Caribbean. These poisonous invasive fish need to be "tagged and bagged." This pole spear allows us to easily take multiple fish on each dive. It is light and maneuverable, very good for nailing fish hanging out on coral heads or wrecks.

Great!

I bought this for my husband for his birthday. He loves it! Although he is a beginner, he goes fishing with our nephews that have been diving for years. They have the same spear and love theirs too. I will be buying another soon for our son's birthday.

Bringing the past into the future!

I used to use a Hawaiian Sling in HI, the old style. I replaced mine with this JBL. It's stiffer which makes for better tracking when hunting (no pole vibration). After not having polespeared for many years when I first tried this I'll be honest I lost my first largemouth bass, but after that I was in hog heaven. I even got a big boy which I know is too smart for lures, not for the polespear.
