A good harpooner once told me to always put a little grease (PAM) on the end of the shaft to make sure the dart pulls away from the shank.
Also, don't forget the tag line and is anyone still using wooden sticks wrapped with sheet lead these days? This is what I stuck my first tow fish withoff NBPT back in 1976 off of Ipswich Bay?

LOL. Dave, havn't you heard, lead will kill you !!!
Dam I'm overdue!!. This is what i use 13', lead weighted, watertight, floating!! no tag line. With 2 fathom leaders fishing solo or with 1 mate, no wireman. Reel up to the swivel, let him do his spiral, place the poon down about 6' and steer it to him.!! Never have to throw. This one has earned its keep!!
This was home made in 1979 or 80. Tape just below the bowline.
