What does a patu digua look like?

A patu digua, also known as the Hawaiian sling or spear gun, is a traditional fishing tool characterized by its long, slender shape. It typically consists of a wooden or fiberglass shaft with a pointed tip, often made of metal, and is equipped with a rubber band or elastic sling to propel the spear. The design allows for precision targeting of fish underwater. The patu digua is often intricately decorated, reflecting its cultural significance in Hawaiian fishing practices.
