Fishing with Spears
Recommendations to be used when fishing with a spear:
- Spears shall be dressed with a pack-off rubber to circulate when required. A stop ring or stop sub shall be used to prevent the spear from entering too deeply into the fish, to provide the ability to re-set the jars, and to enable easier release of the tool.
- Be aware the shoulder has the potential to lock up the slips as the shoulder prevents down movement to release slips. Cocking a jar with a spear without shoulder can be done . . .
