    First make a piece of junk out of a metal mop handle to see the limitations of such a beast.

    Then beef everything up - drill holes into heavy curtain rod - cut steel rod in half and hammer into pole - add hose clamps - sharpen the tips - and you're ready to put holes into some flounder

    A flounder guru set me straight and said you need a heavy pole and long tines. The heavy pole makes penetration a breeze especially on boney headed flathead - and no barbs makes getting them off the spear too easy

    Most of my materials come from curb side rubbish collection piles - so there is no shortage of old mops to choose from.

    And yeah - improvised tool use is one of my specialties - Just yesterday I was faced with getting some huge sturdy card boxes into the bin - the stanley knife was breaking my balls - Cordless Jigsaw made short work of it👍

    Cut out the shape you want with a dremel or angle grinder - then blast with the heat gun until it gets floppy - then shape with gloved hands - hold it in place and run cold water over it to set quick and you're done

    ahh and you'll need a pvc pipe sheath for the points, so you only stab things that you intend to stab

    Might just get in the poo when the missus/mum/gf discovers you've nicked the handle to the mop 😆!
    I like the improvised grinder too👍
