I'm working on a polespear project, and thought it would be nice to streamline the flopper into the shaft as much as possible, since the band load (and penetrating power) of a polespear are obviously less than a speargun.
It's pretty easy to cut down the sides of the shaft slightly, but it's the top of the flopper that really sticks up. Anything I do is a balance of better penetration, but a weakened shaft at the flopper.
Does anyone have any pics of similar applications?
