Abstract
An underwater spear assembly, including a shaft and a detachable sharpened tip, and an extension tip which is slidably attachable to the sharpened tip, a flexible cable attached between the extension tip and a releasable clamp slidably mounted on the shaft and which cable can be readily detached from the clamp to remove the spear tip assembly from a fish by pulling the free end of the cable through a hole in a fish made by the spear assembly. The clamp includes a 45.degree. angled inclined portion which provides a bending of the cable and the required tension on the cable to inhibit the tip from falling off the spear during firing thereof from a spear gun. The clamp includes a compression spring between the inclined portion and the sleeve so that the cable stop may be released upon movement of the inclined portion away from a passageway through a lateral flange of the sleeve.
