harpoon?

[Gut Wrench]

we will be doing more swordfishing this year,we have not had to use the flying gaff yet but would a poon be easier?


also is it only to be used with large fish?

what i mean is you still would need your regualar (4-8ft) gaffs..

I'm relatively new to the poon game but now that I have one I couldn't imagine not having one... Most of the swords I take are suitable for a regular 6' x 4-5" aftco gaff...Then there are the pigs I used to use the flyer on. I'll still tote the flyer for the bruisers more or less as a back up but the poon will get the nod on stubborn fish over 125lbs...

Thanks Deep...

where are you going to store a poon on the gutwrench? That is not meant to be a joke about "one more thing on the boat" that is just a curious question.

Most of them breakdown for storage,we always have the anchor ball with us,so the only extra thing would be a milk crate with the 200ft of line...i was thinking we would only need it when we sword or mako fish or God forbid we ever get a big tuna(yeah like that is gonna happen).

There are many advantages of using a Harpoon

1st, you have a far greater reach than a flyer
one you become confident with a poon fish 10 - 15 feet from the boat become a reality , Though we do not reccomend large distance throws it has been done.

2nd, the saftey factor you can stick a fish and get it away from the boat if you need to i.e swordy or an un-ruly Mako "saves your gel-coat "

3rd, like what was mention that they break down for easy storage , Ours was designed with this in mind and can be assembled in under a few minutes
