Don't go crazy building one because as history shows, You will probably lose it.

I am looking to build one, finding the 3/8" Stainless Steel all-thead is a little tough to find so far...
I planning to use 1 1/4" dia. 30" length wood dowl and 18" length of all-thread . Expoxing 4" or so into the dowl ,cork wraped, and grinding that bitch to a nice sharp point..

Thanks for the link Redeye. That is an impressive looking spear. Jim, I found ss all thread at the home depot, just wasn't sure what size to get. And Cbad, you're probably right. Anything I make could end up swimming. My last gaffs were made from thrift store golf club handles and squidco hooks. Not a big investment. Kage will be the same. Thanks. Mike

no problem.
i have an old aluminum spear with a screw in spearhead with a flopper on it. may try to repurpose that into a kage stick.

I've considered making something similar but my fear is what if that fish comes up vertical? How do you spear it?

JarrodMc · 02-13-2013, 09:34 PM

If I were you why don't you just use some 3/8 stainless rod or even 1/4 is probably strong enough. You don't need allthread. Just drill a hole in your dowel and epoxy it in there. if you're that worried about it, run a screw into the dowel and halfway into the SS rod. done

Duh......I meant vertical.

geez....I must be putting to much thought into this

:confu sed:

I'll stick to my gaff

ful-rac · 02-15-2013, 03:48 PM

So after you make yourself a kah-geh and you still need a gaff right? I noticed on the dude from kona's video he first spears then gaffs...so looks like you guys need to build both.

Try search the Aquahunters forum for how to make a Kage. Should be helpful.
