Well observed. Still made me wonder how hard ot extend the hit zone of the spear out by a couple of scale feet - only when thrown? If you just extended it generally that would maybe give an unfair combat advantage but if only for throws then shouldn't matter at all and would allow for spear fishing.

or simply make a "Fishing spear" that does no real combat damage but has the depth issue allowed for?
