It probably would be a good idea to actually PRACTICE underwater taking the Powerhead and placing it on your spear . That will allow you to not be super scared trying to hurry when it comes time to use the Powerhead . There is no point being more nervous than you have to be when the need arises .
Dude! You're the best! I really appreciate you passing on the knowledge! Making a bunch of these for cheap is way better than buying 1 or 2 for like $100 each and these are more versatile You're greatly appreciated!
Dude, you post an epic video, get tons of likes and views and never post again? This is UA-cam gold, you could have 100,000 subs by now. Post a vid of shooting one of these underwater. Anyway thanks for the tutorial, everything i was looking for.
Great video thank you. Just be aware tha there are actually many cartriges that utilise the "large rifle" style primer you refer to. I agree with your opinion that this large rifle primer type ammunition is the wisest choice for powerheads of this design. Cheers.
If you see this message ever, thanks so much. I started kayaking a couple years ago in saltwater and three times I have been harassed by sharks. One rammed my kayak and tried to again before I punched him in the nose with my paddle. It was a juvenile great white about 6 feet. I just paddled back to shore as fast as I could. I believe it was just a test bite to see if my kayak was edible. There were scrapes and bite marks on bottom and side. If it had been a bigger mature one it probably would have chomped on it good and I’d had been thrown into the water.
I just found your tutorial. Nice. Lots of extra info. I was thinking about the pipe length and the natural tendency to put one’s hand over the end in an emergency. What do you think? Would it be worth the sacrifice in weight to make the tube 4.5 - 5.5 inches long to make it easier for big, or maybe even gloved, hands to quickly place it on the spear without putting the hand on the end? Also, what do you think about pouring a small amount of epoxy on the primer end (1/8 inch perhaps) after the bullet is already glued in the pipe? Would that provide a little security against accidental discharge without interfering with the intended actions of a sharp spear striking it? I’ve never used one yet, so I am curious about your ideas.
Thank you so much for this video. I am not, as you put it "A rich guy." I've been looking for how to make these affordably for an awful long time. What kind of fuel hose are you using for this? That's not something I'm savvy about, and I want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff, since you've already done the experimenting.
sorry for late response- it is fuel hose from west marine store- it has 1/2"o.d. and i.d. of 5/16"(actually a bit smaller) if you want to use different hose - it is fine as long as it is 1/2"o.d.- you can drill the i.d to get it right - so that is not as important
Great tutorial. Getting ready to make one of these. Hopefully never have to use it. I have a thick aluminum pipe that is the right size. Im sure steel is much better than but if I’m mot planning on reusing it will aluminum be effective enough?
He was talking steel because what he found to use was affordable and easy to get the correct size material to make his housings out of . Yes , aluminum would work fine as the whole idea is a housing that will not break apart when the ammo goes off .
No , as the spear tip needs to go past the end of the hose at least an inch or two . He said to place your cartridge ( he calls them bullets ) so the front end is just inside being flush with the end of the housing . Then you seal off the front end and doing that fixes the cartridge in place so it will not slide down inside . When placing the finished product on your spear you slide it ( carefully ) down through the hose and keep pushing it slowly until the tip of the spear just touches the primer on the cartridge .
Jason, good video. I am looking into the .308 and I agree with you that a larger primer is important. I am considering using 316 Stainless for the added corrosion resistance. I will have to buy a solid blank and have a machine shop bore out the 1/2" hole as you specified. But my question is how thick should the wall be? Is 1/8" wall sufficient (meaning a .75" outside diameter), or should I go with an extra thick .25" wall (meaning 1.00" outside diameter)? I am concerned that if the PH is too heavy, then that may be a problem (not enough force to allow the shaft to strike the primer). What are your thoughts on 316 Stainless and 1/8" or 1/4" walls? Any other suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks for the reply. 1/8” is plenty. I would keep it as small as possible since weight might be an issue- since if it was really heavy it wouldn’t be as convenient. I made this video as a PSA and as a starting point to investigate further. I cant believe I have 19k views.
This is like Cheech and Chong make a bomb. Very entertaining but it's easier to use a .410 shotgun cartridge. It's the same OD as a .45ACP, it's allread flat up front and easy to seal with nail polish, silicon or wax and it has a huge easy to hit primer. But perhaps not as entertaining.
I have never done it with shotgun bullets but you could use .410 gauge since the outside diameter is around 1/2” also. Idk how much water intrusion is an issue with those shells - or how big the primer is- since billets with small primers lead to misfires. Those can be lethal if you need this to chase off and angry 1000# bull shark
Relying on the actual spear to discharge the primer to make all this work is fantasy. For rifle primers like those on the ".308" you would have to be closer than with a powerhead using a ".45 ACP" round! You may have noticed that he had a sharp point on his spear. Either the user will have a lot of misfires (due to shooting at a range where the spear does not have enough force to ignite the primer) or a few gas blow back episodes when the primer is punctured by the spear. Does Mr. Tiller realize that rifle primers are thicker than pistol primers and therefore would require more force to cause the back of the primer to strike the internal primer anvil to create the required reaction? His warning of how to mount the power-head on the spear to avoid injuring your hands should set off alarm bells in anyone's mind. If you are thinking of going after large and or dangerous underwater game with this set up good luck.
a channel called headhunter spearfishing uses slip-on powerheads with success. I have no idea what caliber he uses, but in a video titled "3 bulls" he has to shoot a bull shark that was circling him. the powerhead was very effective.
Great point except your ideas ARE fantasy - since I have used them many many times and they work fine. Slip on power heads work well. Don’t you think a spear that weighs 1 lb has enough kinetic energy to rupture a primer? It does irl - but I am surprised you would think it wouldn’t .?? As far as very sharp spears- I have considered this and forgot to address it in my video. Once again- it is a good hypothesis but doesn’t bear out in real life. I am a commercial spear fisherman and use these regularly to hunt and also to chase off bull sharks. Truth is- unless you are making razor Sharp tips on ur spears with a grinder- it’s just not an issue. Even if you did - I’m not sure it is an issue irl - as far as on paper - it is plausible. Thanks for your response either way.
Jason Tiller awesome job dude , great tutorial, thanks for sharing , this information is going to come in very handy for making these. If I was ever to use one of these it would be for protection in the ocean mate that’s about it. Totally love this video , take care.
i never watch 18 minute tutorial videos on youtube, but when i do its gotta be this guy.

Happy thanksgiving my friend thanks for the intel your personality is electric
Excellent tutorial man! Had a 12' tiger checking me out a few days ago. Going to make some of these.
Well done Jason lots of great info very clear Thank you subscribed

Awsume explains the how, why and what powerheads are cheers
Lol into your neighbour who's bothering you 🤣
awesome, subscribed
Much love... good Shit.
Thanks dude do u offer spearfishing trips?
What are you on ? ....... and where do I get some

Brother you look really comfortably itchee
Do on one side you have the gas hose. On the other you push the bullet in. But do you push in until you touch the hose??
No , as the spear tip needs to go past the end of the hose at least an inch or two .

How do I deal with the rim on the 410 shell? Sand it down?
If you dont know what a primer is disregard the rest of this video. It is probably not for you .
THANKS bigtime NO VIDEO? LOL tv PROGRAM OUT HERE???? HAVE LOOKED FOR OVER A YEAR OR SO
Please upload a video of making a shotgun bangstick
410g w/wire shredder buckshots.
Bullets are illegal to have where I am... but would be great if you give me a tip on how to use shotgun cartridges instead... thz
I have never done it with shotgun bullets but you could use .410 gauge since the outside diameter is around 1/2” also.
Idk how much water intrusion is an issue with those shells - or how big the primer is- since billets with small primers lead to misfires. Those can be lethal if you need this to chase off and angry 1000# bull shark
Would it be feasible to mount a powerhead onto a drone for hunting wild hogs?
They'd run from the drone..

What kind of spear is that?
Can we use shotgun emmo
No you should not shotgun emo’s . Yes they are annoying but pleas do not use one of these to shoot a emo . Thank you and have a nice day . god bless 🤣
