b'LFD.com: What makes the Lionator so desirable based on your experiences?Deelman: The Lionator is deliberately compact to discourage fishers from targeting other fish species whose numbers arediminishing. And as you may already know, the invasive lionfish can be speared from just 10 or 12 inches away which makes hunting them easy and fun, and they are great to eat!As an invasive fish, they have no natural predators in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, so they have no fear . (I have personally speared one. taken it to a bucket on the kayak above me . and gone back down to spear its buddy who was just a foot away andliterally waiting for my return!).So, we produce the travel size Lionator that will fit nicely into small luggage or a day pack and the 6 longer Pro Version Lionator that will still fit in your larger size luggage with the tip removed, but it gives you a little more reach for those ones hiding under the overhangs.Dive Master/lionfish hunting expert Roger Muller calls the Lionator his favorite pole spear! LFD.com: In addition to creating such a useful piece of equipmentin a sport you love is there something else that makes it rewarding?Deelman: I must mention that we donate a lot of our spears to most of the major lionfish culling tournaments happening in these areas (as raffle prizes mostly) and that this is honestly an environmental cause for us! We proudly work together with Netless Catch now who provide our lionfish spears to fishers in Belize and Trinidad so that they aretargeting mostly lionfish and taking pressure off other threatened fishes and the lionfish that they hunt are flash frozen and shipped to markets in the USA!LFD.com: Any final thoughts youd like to share with our audience? Deelman: So I guess like all of us in the lionfish community. we tryto make a difference and it feels good!The best part about all of this is to have gotten to know so many wonderful people who take the lionfish threat seriously and that we all share a lot of pride in what we are doing!33'
