I dont use one.. If any butt can rip off the welded cleat on my boat, or break the 2000lb strength lanyard that is attached to the SS aircraft cable that is in turn attached to the needle-sharp poon head---- well-- good on him! Balloons are for those that insist in running a poon head into soft parts of the fish, such as the guts. If you do that, then yes, you need the buffering factor from a the fish trying to drag balloon down.
(But dont try my method in a 14 ft tinny!!!)

I spear my halibut then hang onto the rope and pull it along side the boat. When my guests are over the side of the boat looking at the beast I lift it up high enough out of the water to get it thrashing and dumping hundreds of gallons of water all over them and inside the boat. One day I'll try and video the event.
You dont get to do that tying on a scotchman to the spear and letting it go over the side. Seems kind of weeeeeek.

Oh I wish i had a picture but if anyone is looking for a really nice hali spear I baught mine at sea-run fly and tackle go in there and tell Kelly or Brian that you want one from the guy that hand makes them,cant remember his name,but he does an amazing job they trully are a work of art and priced well at 109 dollars,everyone Ive shown cant believe the craftsmanship he puts into them,really takes the time and produces an excellent spear..

I use my boat bumpers rather then carrying any extra gear on the boat.
