The difference between traditional harpoon and trigger harpoon

1.Design and structure

• Traditional Harpoon:

  • Simple structure : usually consists of a long handle and one or more sharp prongs. The design is straightforward, there are no complicated mechanical structures, and the operation is relatively simple.
  • Manual operation : The user needs to hold the harpoon and stab it directly into the target fish. It does not contain any automatic firing mechanism.
  • Applicability : This kind of harpoon is usually suitable for underwater diving or shallow water areas, and has high flexibility of manual operation.

• Trigger Harpoon (Harpoon Gun):

  • The design is more complex : it contains a gun-shaped structure, usually with a trigger (trigger), which is used to launch the harpoon. This type of harpoon gun usually has a rubber that propels the harpoon into firing.
  • Automatic launch : The user only needs to aim at the fish and pull the trigger, and the harpoon will be launched, making long-distance fishing easier and more precise.
  • Applicability : Mainly used at night, especially when diving for fishing at night, it can provide higher accuracy and range.

2. How to use

• Traditional Harpoon:

  • Manual operation : The user's strength is required to throw or propel the harpoon onto the fish. The user usually approaches the target underwater and then delivers a precise thrust.
  • Skill Requirements : Requires some skill and strength, especially when moving through the water or fishing at close range.

• Trigger Harpoon:

  • Shooting operation : The user only needs to aim at the target and pull the trigger, and the harpoon will be launched using a mechanical mechanism. This makes fishing easier, especially at long distances.
  • High Accuracy : Thanks to the trigger mechanism, the harpoon can be accurately shot onto the target.

3.Use

• Traditional Harpoon:

  • Close-range fishing : This type of harpoon is mainly suitable for situations where you need to be close to fish schools, such as diving fishing, fishing in shallow water areas, etc.
  • Multipurpose : Some traditional harpoons are simple in design and suitable for use in fishing, conservation, or ocean exploration.

• Trigger Harpoon:

  • Deep-water fishing : Due to its higher range and accuracy, the trigger harpoon is more suitable for deep-water fishing, diving fishing and other occasions that require long-distance strikes.
  • Professional use : Usually used by professional divers or fishermen, especially when fishing in a wide range or in deep waters.

4. Flexibility

• Traditional Harpoon:
  • High flexibility : Due to its simple structure, users can react quickly and operate flexibly in the water, making it suitable for rapidly changing fishing environments.
• Trigger Harpoon:
  • Relatively fixed : Although the launch mechanism is convenient, the operation usually requires a certain amount of preparation time and has certain requirements for the distance and location of the target.

5. Price

• Traditional Harpoon:

  • Cheaper : Due to its simple structure, the price is usually more affordable and suitable for general recreational fishing or novice use.

• Trigger Harpoon:

  • More expensive : Due to their mechanics and specialized nature, harpoon guns are generally more expensive and require greater maintenance and operating skills.

Summarize:

• Traditional harpoon : suitable for close-range fishing activities. It has a simple structure and flexible operation, but requires high skills.
• Trigger harpoon : suitable for long-distance and deep-water fishing, accurate launch, but more complex in operation and higher in price.

Both have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on your needs, fishing environment, and ease of use.
