Abstract
A simple efficient novel design fishing spear assembly for sport fishing includes a spear point pivotally mounted to the upper end of a spear shaft. The spear point swivels from 0 degrees to 180 degrees. The spear point and shaft is mounted onto a long handle to support under water spear fishing, wade fishing, spear fishing or gig fishing from vessel. The ranges of rotation support the spear point between an insertion position, a retaining position, and a withdrawal position. A ball cooperatively engaging with a locking mechanism secures the spear point within the desired position. The long handle can range from a few feet to several feet depending on the application or need.
