About Our Harpoon Darts

Our tried and true Harpoon Dart Retention System keeps the dart lightly tacked to the dart shaft so that during the “end game”, when there is extreme slack present in the harpoon line. The dart itself will not inadvertently fall of the harpoon dart shaft….  Lets face it, nobody wants a “premature release”.  If you feel that this is too much retention for your rigging style, simply remove the O-Ring at the tip.

Each Penetrator dart comes professionally rigged with your choice of 4 feet of 1700 lb/test vinyl coated stainless steel cable, or 5000 lb/test Dyneema 12 Strand Braided Rope.

The Penetrator Harpoon Dart combines the best qualities of the common Bronze Tuna Harpoon Dart, and The West Coast Favorite Halibut Dart. It is constructed from Brass and also available in Nickle Plated Brass to combat corrosion.  The Penetrator Dart measures 4.5" long.

The Arrowhead design gives the Penetrator Dart the ability to pierce thru gill plates, flesh, cartilage, and bone. In scenarios where the traditional bronze harpoon dart can fail to punch thru gill plates and tough flesh, the Penetrator Dart succeeds. The aft end of the dart is flanged out on both sides at and cupped to grab hold of flesh and pop off of the dart shaft evenly so you can avoid sticking the dart to the shaft.  After harpooning a fish, the Penetrator dart will flip horizontally and buttonhole your quarry when the harpoon line is pulled tight. Even if the penetrator dart is not punched thru it’s target, the rear flanges of the dart will dig into the flesh and embed the dart to prevent it from pulling out.
