I bought that fibreglass epsealon polespear today at the new location and took it to copper cove. I didn't see any greenling today but I can tell it was totally fine for cruising around boulders on the north shore in medium visibility. I am hella stoked on it.

Hi Andrew, if people use 75cm speargun to catch the fish here, what length pole spear should I use? I mean similar powerful. Thank you

Without a slip band you're just catching small inedible fish.😮😮😮
