I bought probably 5 or 6 spears though the years. I found 9tine here on IceShanty and ordered one a couple of winters ago. I just finally got to put it to work last weekend and that spear puts all the others to shame. All my other spears would plane when I tried anything at any kind of angle. This spear goes right where I want, always! It's not cheap, but it's also the last spear I will buy, unless I get him to make me another one just like it. I spent way more than this one from 9tine, on all those others!
A lot of these fish were well outside of the hole. One of them was so far outside I had to put the head under that side and throw. The only thing that limited me was how long I had my rope tied.
