I don't intend making any guns like this, the idea is simply up for discussion, plus I already have two travel guns and have not bent the spears yet, but then I don't use them very often. JBL made a two-piece spear as well as the one supplied with their “Travel Magnum”, it had a short tail of 316 stainless steel at 3/8” diameter and the front section was spring stainless steel at 5/16” diameter. Not sold as a travel gun spear, it still showed that a two-piece spear is a workable proposition and the step in diameter made for a line slide stop.[/quote]

Here is a photo of those two shafts, the Travel Magnum shaft is about a 50:50 split, the supposed Adapta-shaft is just the 3/8 inch diameter tail. I obtained the latter in a job lot of shafts, shafts being akin to ammo, they get used up. I generally used a full length shaft with the Travel Magnum, leaving some spears with my interstate dive buddy for the annual harvest.
