Poon Harpoon

One of the oldest tools in
fishing, harpoons have a long history of landing large fish.
From the days of the Nantucket whale boats to today's commercial
giant blue fin tuna fishing industry, harpoons have proven
themselves as an invaluable tool. And now their use is becoming
more and more popular with recreational fishermen.
 
The 'POON' is regarded as
the highest quality harpoon available on the market. It has
received rave reviews from shark fishermen, sword fishermen, and
tuna fishermen from the East Coast to the West Coast.
When it comes down to all the time and
money spent fishing – and the big one is on the line – JUST
STICK IT!
The POON’s unique design incorporates a
rigid lightweight shaft coupled with a high weight POWER HEAD.
The lightweight shaft allows for easy handling and aim while the
heavy POWER HEAD allows for pinpoint accuracy and penetration at
any depth. The shaft is made from 1" hard coated aluminum.
Although lightweight, the POON can withstand the rigorous
pressure of large fish. Each component uses a universal thread
and can be assembled in less than 1 minute.
