Someone was looking for this tool for eels - definitely not for lace! I got this email from a friend.
"This might help: http://www.antiquetools.co.uk/eel.html http://www.country-gallery.com/eelspears.html When I was a kid we gigged eels in a salt water tidal stream. We got .50 an eel from a local buyer who smoked them. Our gig was not fancy like those in the pictures. We used a 4 pointed gig with the two outer tines longer than the two inner ones, which had barbs. Though the eels were easy to see in the water, they were hard to gig because they were 6' deep and the current was quite strong so the drag on the spear was appreciable for an 11 year old kid." Have no idea what they are talking about, but this list has always been a goldmine for me.
