| I prefer the harpoon. It does not beat up the boat when the fish starts rolling and banging the boat. |

| i prefer the harpoon over the flyer. The harpoon is much more safer, you can get a cleaner shot not much meat is ruined the harpoon stays in better then the flyer does. but don't forget if you are in a tourney you cant use a harpoon.

| Your kidding, right? If you're not in a tournament the harpoon gets the nod every time! |

| I've been having a problem with my harpoon. I've bent a shaft each of the last 3 times I've stuck a fish. First time was the point fell off so i started using black tape to attach the cable to the shaft. Second time I thought that the dart may not have been sharp enough so we honed it like a razor. Just bent another one yesterday while taking a mako. Nice shot right to the gills. I don't understand it. |
