the torch on the harpoon is not very practical i think.. it gets in the way in the tight and small crevices where we usually find fish. it is more practical to hold the torch in the other hand and point it where you like.. just my 2 cents

i agree with claudio and some times we use the torch to move the fish in a crack or tana

your shoots must be instintly and no lasers or staff like that. To put tha setup is a bit hard cos even if you r working in a cave hunting the fish runs and its hard to control the gun with the tourch.

Best I found is a slim tourch and place it on the other hand and use it only when necessary

the torch works great on the harpoon, howevevr it is a very small torch the size of 2 pencil baterries connected to a mound i made on the underside of the harppon just infront of the reel, doesnt get in my way as it is close to the harppons handle anyways.
