I posted a few weeks back on a 12.5’ pike spear I bought. The wood on the handle was all fibered up and full of water. I decided to dry the wood handle in the sun for a few days. I then sanded the fuzz off and put linseed oil on it. A lot of linseed oil. I left the stained dirty wood on the spear end. Here is the finished result.

You did a good job on that spear. That linseed oil will really protect the wood. If it gets a lot of use it doesnt take long to re apply some more oil.

Very nice one!

I haven't done it in years but if I was to again, I'm going to rig it up so the spear with a line attached comes off the pole.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

How high is the roof in the spear shack I might be missing something here we use dark fish shacks this must be for bank spearing?
