Anyone ever use, or even carry a bang stick.

Sure wish one would kill a few seals right in front of the seal lady and her crusty minions.

You use a bang stick on a great white and get caught, guess what is going to happen to YOU!

I'm not sure but I saw posts on BWE that said a guy brought his bang stick to the game warden and they told him it was legal. Had to be a minimum length and you could not bring back what you shoot. Other than that. Legal. Maybe it changed I don't know.

Posted by JeffB in august of this year. So highly doubt it changed.

TRUE, but it is against the law to capture, or kill a great white, they are protected.

YakDout · 10-17-2013, 03:46 PM

What if you are being eaten by one? I would think a bang stick is part of self defense/last chance to live kinda thing. I'm not saying I would personally carry one. Just wondering if anyone had ever used one.

Not sure I believe that one. But I do know for a fact you can shoot seals with a paintball gun. Even in the face! I saw construction workers in SD bay last weekend doing drive-bys on 100 seals with a fully auto paint gun. Maybe we should all mount paint guns on turrets for our kayaks?

Pepper spray would work too. I wonder if someone makes pepper spray paint balls?

Or load your Glock up with rubber bullets, that would be easier than a paintball gun

Randy, That's a 18ft Great White! That shark shield is only going to
tickle his pickle. Don't kid yourself...

I carry a 6' tapered gaff with a 3" SS hook protected by a tube cover, he get's too close to me and I can 'spear' him in the nose with the bend of the gaff hook (if I'm not mistaken that's a sensitive part of the body) just like giving him a bloody nose!

That video was taken by a buddy, Charlie S.

Whites are always out there, one of the reasons I bought a skiff

How quickly we forget when we jump on our yack and push out into the big blue, that we are entering the food chain.
