If the barbs don’t kill it, the rust on these will. I had two, they rust very quickly,Lion Fish 3 Prong Cluster Tip No Barbs for easy removal
The MAKO Spearguns Lion Fish 3 prong Cluster Tip is designed specifically for hunting and killing the invasive Lion Fish.
Our Lionfish killer pole spear tip has no barbs. This facilitates easy removal from the tip into a Lionfish containment device.
As indicated on our website, the tip on this spear is hardened and rust can occur, but it will not affect performance.
With a total cost of about $35, including spear, band and hardened, barbless tip, we think this is an excellent value for the recreational harvester.
If you are ever dissatisfied with a MAKO product please let us know and we will do whatever we can to make it right.

Hope it’s okay to raise this topic on this thread, but when entering the water from a boat (giant stride) to go scuba pole spearing (lion fish) what is the best way to hold an assembled spear ~5ft)? Upright like Neptune’s trident so your hand is close to the prongs and you can control them or point the spear down to keep the prongs further from you out of harm’s way? The later seems like the best way, but if you are resort diving with a group and some one happens to be down below you, and the spear slips out of your hand, the prong end could head right for them.
Conversely, if you jumped in with the prongs pointed up and the spear happened to hit something or there was a weird wave that jolted your arm it could send the prongs towards your head - same reason they tell you to walk with scissors pointed down when you’re a kid.

I think that, generally divers keep a spear pointed up when entering and certainly away from any portion of their body. If you are initially uncomfortable with the entry, you may be able to ask someone to hand you the spear after entering.
You probably don’t want to clip it off to your body when entering and should hand carry a spear while diving. When diving, you are generallly face down position so you are looking down. For the most part you want a spear pointing down rather than up, especially on descents and ascents. It takes a few dives to get used to carrying a dangerous tool and to train yourself to always be aware of exactly where it is pointing.

Maybe you can help me. I have one that I bought a while ago, pre-covid, and I want to replace the rusted tip. I bought a new tip, but I can't get the old one off. It's either rusted on or encrusted with salt. I've tried vice grips and no luck. I've let it soak.
Sorry you are having issues with the old spear. You might also try some penetration oil and let that soak in?
Last resort you might be hitting the end of the spear with a torch and then dipping just the tip in some ice water, and see how that goes with a couple of vice grips?
