Folks--- I recently got a Riffe Pole spear... It came with the Mini-Ice Pick Slip-tip 9/32 Complete Break away. I noticed it doesn't have a Hawaiian barb on it and it also has a big Brother model that can come= 9/32 or 5/16 with a 6mm thread and 5/16 or 3/8 with a 5/16-24 thread.
Question--- What are the advantages of the Mini-Slip Tips compared to the assumably larger slip-tips w/complete breakaway?
I am used to pole spear + old school Hawaiian Sling for 10 years (w/7' Spring stainless spear)--- the No-Barb thing is throwing me for a loop with this new Riffe gear...
Help??
