Slip-Tip: Spear Tip for Freediving and Spearfishing
The Slip-Tip is an advanced Spear Tip designed specifically for freedive spearfishing and bluewater hunting. The tip release mechanism allows the front section to separate from the shaft and turn sideways inside the fish’s body after impact.
This technical innovation prevents the fish from using the shaft as leverage, reducing the risk of Spear Tip breakage or the fish tearing off, ensuring greater reliability during retrieval.
Applications and Technical Advantages
- Ideal for taking powerful, fast pelagic species with soft flesh, such as Wahoo.
- Significantly increases Spear Tip holding power even when the fish is not fully penetrated.
- The tip’s ability to turn sideways in the flesh improves the chances of success in spearfishing.
The Slip-Tip is therefore an essential component in freedive spearfishing equipment, thanks to its mechanical strength and its ability to minimize technical risks when retrieving large, powerful, fast-moving fish.

Spear Tips for Spearfishing
In a speargun system, the spear tip is the terminal component of the shaft: the point of contact with the fish that, more than any other element, determines whether the fish will stay secured on the tip or manage to break free. A correctly sized spear tip, with the right tip geometry and floppers suited to the technique and target species, significantly reduces the likelihood of losing the fish during the fight.
The Deep Blue Spear Tips category brings together a selection of replacement and rigging spear tips for band-powered and pneumatic spearguns, designed for spearfishers who want to optimize the equipment they already own or replace a worn or damaged spear tip. Slip-Tip spear tips are also available: specialized detachable spear tips used in bluewater hunting, or in any case for landing large fish.
The available models cover different types of use, from hole hunting to open-water hunting and bluewater hunting, with specific variants.
Types of spear tips available
The models in this category differ mainly in several variables: tip geometry, configuration, and overall body length. Each combination is suited to different conditions of use.
Conical-tip spear tips
The conical tip is the most traditional and widely used configuration in Mediterranean spearfishing. Thanks to its regular conical profile, it offers good tissue penetration and reduced hydrodynamic drag during the shot. It is a proven choice for ambush and aspetto hunting on medium-sized species. Among the available models, the Salvimar Concorde Spear Tip and the K-9 Conical Tip Spear Tip use this geometry, with long double floppers to ensure effective fish retention.
Tricut spear tips
The tricut tip – characterized by three converging blades forming a star-shaped section – increases the cutting surface at impact, improving penetration in fish with scales or dense muscle. The K-9 Tricut Tip Spear Tip and the Martin Stainless Steel Spear Tip by Salvimar feature this geometry, paired with long double floppers in tempered stainless steel.
Slip-Tip spear tips
Slip-Tip spear tips are a technical solution designed for bluewater hunting and landing large fish. In practice, the articulated spear tip consists of 3 pieces (tip, adapter, and slide ring). The tip and slide ring are connected by a Dyneema line or a steel cable. This technical innovation prevents the fish from levering against the shaft, reducing the risk of damaging the shaft or tearing the flesh, thereby ensuring greater reliability during retrieval.
Spear tips with staggered floppers
The Medium Spear Tip – Staggered Floppers by Salvimar uses a configuration in which the floppers are not symmetrically opposed but arranged with an angular offset. This geometry distributes retention forces differently while the fish struggles, reducing the risk of the fish widening the wound by leveraging against the shaft.
How to choose a spear tip for spearfishing
Choosing a replacement or rigging spear tip should take four main factors into account: compatibility with the shaft diameter, tip geometry, flopper configuration, and body length.
The first criterion is compatibility: the spear tip screws onto the shaft via a thread, and the most common size on the European market is M7. Before purchasing a replacement spear tip, you need to check the diameter and thread pitch of your shaft. The Salvimar models available in this category cover the most widely used standard sizes, but a preliminary check is essential.
As for length, short spear tips are generally better suited to compact spearguns used for hole hunting, where maneuvering space is limited and range is not the determining factor. Long spear tips, such as the Martin models, pair with Tahitian shafts for medium- and long-range band-powered spearguns, where the ballistic stability of the overall setup and retention strength on the fish become more important.
Tip geometry affects penetration: the conical tip is suitable for species with tough flesh and for mid-range shots; the tricut tip provides a larger cutting surface and is appreciated for close-range shots on muscular fish. An interchangeable tip offers a practical advantage when operating in conditions that cause accelerated wear of the tip itself, such as hunting over rocky bottoms or targeting particularly tough fish.
The number of floppers and their configuration influence retention: two long floppers provide deeper anchoring than short floppers, while staggered floppers distribute forces differently during sudden movements by the fish.
Materials and technical features
All spear tips in this category are made of stainless steel, in a tempered version that ensures greater surface hardness than standard stainless steel. Tempered stainless steel provides corrosion resistance suitable for the marine environment, where continuous contact with salt water, sediment, and biological organisms is a normal condition of use.
Steel tempering affects tip hardness: properly tempered steel keeps its cutting edge longer than material that has not been heat-treated. This feature is especially relevant for tricut tips, where the cutting geometry is essential to performance.
The floppers are generally made of stainless steel and designed to open on impact with the fish’s tissue, creating a mechanical anchor that prevents the spear tip from backing out while the fish struggles. Flopper strength is a factor that should not be underestimated: floppers made from lower-quality material can deform or break in the event of shots on large fish or accidental impacts against rocky substrates.
Conclusion
The Deep Blue Spear Tips category offers a focused selection of components for rigging spearguns, with a range that covers the main tip geometries - conical, tricut, interchangeable, and square - and different flopper configurations. This selection also includes a wide range of Slip-Tip spear tips designed for BlueWater Hunting.
Salvimar models, which make up the largest share of the assortment, stand out for their proven technical solutions in Mediterranean spearfishing, with sizes and formats suitable for both band-powered and pneumatic spearguns. The presence of the Sigal Sub brand expands the offering with an alternative technical variant. Hunt leads the selection of premium-quality Slip-Tip spear tips, used by top experts in ocean bluewater hunting.
Choosing the right spear tip - in terms of shaft compatibility, tip geometry, and flopper configuration - is an aspect that directly affects the effectiveness of the hunting system. A spear tip in good condition, correctly sized for the speargun and technique used, is an element that makes a real contribution to landing the fish and reducing lost catches.
