Quick take
A 7-prong barbed stainless steel spear head for hand-spearing fish, eels and frogs in streams, lakes and rivers.
A compact seven-prong stainless steel gig head with barbed tines, about 6.3 by 3.15 inches. It threads onto an 8mm screw fitting, so it suits a pole you build or already own. Anglers use this style for frogs, eels, salmon and other fish in streams, ponds and lakes.
