Jameson Sr FishingMN Family Registered: 01/29/07 Posts: 452 Loc: Earth	Found this in the bottom of an old tackle box. Thought I would share some pics. It is a Norlund's. _________________________ "...Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him..."W.N.

elwood Sr FishingMN Family Registered: 07/24/06 Posts: 977 Loc: Zimmerman Minn	that thing is cool looking. I saw one simalar to that in a bait store in Wisconsin and I think it was in Hayward that was quite a few years ago and I wasnt sure what it was. _________________________ 2008 FRANKLIN CATFISH DERBY WINNER A day off from work is a good day.

merkman HotSpotOutdoors Family Registered: 12/16/07 Posts: 314 Loc: Earth	I see those for sale on-line from time to time. I don't know how well they work though. As many of them that are out there you would think they work? Pretty cool though!! _________________________ --------------------------------------------------------- Thin ice thick head.

Bass N Spear HotSpotOutdoors Specialist Registered: 08/24/06 Posts: 9340 Loc: Chanhassen, MN	that looks more like a ice thongs to me then a spear. By looking at it, looks like it would make a huge slash in the water and be slower then the normal spears. _________________________ Take a Kid Spearing!!

so haaad Sr IceLeaders Family Registered: 12/26/03 Posts: 1881 Loc: Forest Lake - Maplewood	We had one when I was a kid. As scary as they look, they don't work as well as a regular spear.

merkman HotSpotOutdoors Family Registered: 12/16/07 Posts: 314 Loc: Earth	Originally Posted By: mrklean Are they legal? I don't know if they are legal or not for inland waters. I do know the regs state they are not legal on SD/MN border waters and on the Rainy River Canada/MN border waters. Originally Posted By: 2008 MnDNR Fishing Regulations page 45 • A person cannot possess or use a gaff while fishing on the Rainy River. 2008 Fishing Regs page 45 Originally Posted By: 2008 MnDNR Fishing Regulations page 49 • It is unlawful to possess a spear, spring gaff, or bow and arrow on or adjacent to any body of water where the spearing and archery season is closed. 2008 Fishing Regs page 49 The bottom line is this thing is a spring gaff not a spear. So is it legal to "spear" with a gaff? I am not sure. _________________________ --------------------------------------------------------- Thin ice thick head.
