The 2-piece fish hook is a beautiful example of the different materials that could be used, it is made of Curly Koa wood shaft, and Beef-bone tip. Two piece hooks were the highest level of design, giving the lawai'a/fisherman a hook that could be customized with different style of front barbs depending on the type of fish they wanted to catch. It also facilitated a quick change of a broken barb, instead of having to relash a entire new hook, one only replace the front barb.
