Got the first one finished.
I made a material/design change that will help costs but the first one looks a bit down town. Works wonderfuly! I stabbed a 6 lb Asian carp at close range and got a complete blow through.
However At a slightly greater distance the barbs spread and I was able to hold the fish in the air easily with out it sliding off. Then sliding the push stick foreward it came right off and the barbs returned to their normal position.
Even at realy close range if the barbs go completely through a fish it will not be able to slide up the shaft to a dangerous proximity to the users hands.
Now to find testers that will use it on lionfish. Any takers?
