I am an avid spearfisherman and have used pole spears while snorkeling in the Bahamas (the only legal way to hunt fish there). The paralyzer tip works well for Mangrove snapper and yellow tails. If you are targeting larger fish like Mutton Snapper and grouper, change out the tip for a "Slip tip". This will hold more firmly while you try to subdue your prey. The slip tip comes off the end of the spear and is attached by a cable to the spear. This eliminates the leverage that a fish can use to pry the tip out and swim away. For more information you can search SpearBoard.com for posts from "Ocean Ed" ref: hunting with pole spears. He has conducted numerous training sessions over the years. Or, you can continue to ask questions here and I will do my best to help ;-)
P.S. there is nothing like sitting down to a meal with freinds and knowing that you provided it, through your hunting prowess :-)
