I just finished making my first spear. I was thinking about using paracord for the rope, does anyone have a reason I shouldn't? I searched but didn't come up with anything.
-
Good question, I was thinking the same thing because I want a slightly longer one and I have a ton of para cord.
-
I use Paracord connected to the spear by way of a taped on ring to dampen noise.
A lot of people measure to the bottom, but always allow for extra and let the pike sit and fight for a bit on the bottom.
Then get ready after pullingthe fish up. I have had pike come in to swim around in the plume of mud. Sometimes multiple pike.

Awesome, I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks

I also use paracord. Been running that way for three or four seasons now with no complaints.
-
I did end up using paracord but have yet to release the spear. Glad to hear it works for you.

I use paracord but make sure it is the real thing.
