Nice video, it's really important to share this information! Can't find this on the internet normally. I strongly agree with the starting off with threeprong. It forces you to study and observe the fish and become a better diver overall.

I’ve been spearfishing with a pole spear and 3 prong all my life. I haven’t shot any BIG Pelagic fish but it does wonders on moderate sized sea bass, flounders, barracuda and snappers. Nice trick rolling the spear...can’t wait to try it! Mahalo...

Hey can I request a vid of which fish you can shoot with names and visual reference ...spearfishing ethics...and tactical approach

[loganthompson]

Dude thank you so much! I'm new to spear fishing . But have been scuba diving for years. I needed the basics . You delivered thanks again from Cali .

[scientificapproach]

When I was new I loved practicing shooting floating kelp, it helped a lot with my aim.

[natet.]

Great Video. Didn't think about the advantages like you put it... I just thought it was easier to use. But, being able to take another shot almost immediately is a HUGE advantage. Looking forward to seeing your other videos!

Sharpening my 3 prog as I’m listening to this

[hawaiithomson]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I don’t have anyone showing me anything and this will help before I spend a ton of money.

Divng equipment are expensive these days along with new regulations on safety items you will also need before you get in the water which strongly agree to. you know when i first started diving when i was about ten. my first spear gun was made out of a thread spool powered by rubber bands and a spear made out of a straighten out metal clothes hanger. and it worked! speared a lot of fish with it eg. mannini, aholehole, menpachi, aveoveo, kumu along side the reef in kewalo basin.

Just bought a couple of three prongs for me and my girlfriend. Thanks so much for the excellent starter videos

[ReWildUniversity]

Again, awesome videos! For a newbie just getting started, it's invaluable to have someone take the time to create such informative videos. Thanks for this great resource you have created!

When I was 8 and I first speared a BARBED pole spear was the way to go

Wow only Hawaii has a free diving or any kind of diving gear period section lol that's so cool. I'm in Florida and our Walmarts have US divers mask snorkel fins in a dive bag lol and that's it. You have to go to a dive shop for anything else. Your lucky man!

[MsGorteck]

this was quite good. Short, concise, you articulate well, and the music is not a distraction. I personally would add that a pole spear teaches you the mechanics of spearfishing better. I think you have to be both a better diver and a better shot with a pole spear; spearguns can, , , let you get away with things, where as a pole spear will not. Also, as you said pole spears are much cheaper than the cheapest speargun, until you know that you like to spearfish, but also that your body allows you to spearfish, don't spend a ton of money.

[sevalupin]

Oh no dude I just bought the yellow one. My friend took me spear fishing once and I fell in love so I wanted to get into it.

[Youtuberkit]

Thanks bro. I’m getting my first pole spear.

[bodiezafa]

Great video and very informative. Thanks for the info it will help me get a better start on my pole spear fishing

[allmoxysoftwareco]

Can you talk about range? What's the difference in range from a 3 prong and a gun?

[amekaze]

Brah, love your videos. 3-prong neva fails! I got one breakdown evolve, but I still love rocking my tried and true graphite. Own Riffe, Hatch, and Aimrite but sometime just wanna take out the 3-prong only. We go dive sometime!

As a beginner, even with all your equipment and tools that you have, you would still need to know your prey. Its not as easy as you think. You would need to learn to stalk your prey. You do this by stealth, patience, cunning and even being sneaky. You need to learn the characteristics of the prey you're stalking like a lion in the wild . Some fish will run, some will swim into a hole or cave when stalked, some already lives or dwells in a hole or cave, and some swim in the open. the difference between the 3 prong vs distance and securing your catch because of the barb on the tip of the spear.For fish that swim in the open beyond 3 prong range, a speargun would be your weapon of choice, for all others the 3 prong will do the job I don't think it matters which one you chose as long as you follow safety procedures, however generally one would start with the 3 prong its much more fun and easier to learn. Only time and practice will make you a good diver, longer breaths, deeper depths comes with experience, eventually you will get there. Know your limitations to prevent accidents and follow safety procedures.
