I just picked up a JBL 7 foot pole spear with a paralyzer tip this weekend at the dive shop before I went out on a dive trip. I never thought that spear fishing would be so much fun. The pole spear seems to have plenty of power for the fish I was after (Flounder). It took me a little bit to get used to using the thing, but I was able to get 2 nice size flounder for dinner.

The nice thing about the pole spear is that I don't have to worry about the other divers nearly as much as I would with a real spear gun. Of course I am really careful, but what I am saying is the spear never leaves your hand.

Of course now that I bought and used the thing, I wished I would have purchased one that came apart for travel. What was I thinking? How can I bring that thing on a plane?

Has anyone ever converted a standard spear to come apart for travel? Let me know how you did it and if it worked out well.
