I find everyone calls a polespear a Hawaiian sling around here. A sling is made like a slingshot and is not practical in our murky waters as you'd lose all your shafts.
The Pinder brothers were known as the kings of sling and made them popular back in the 50's making the cover of Sports Illustrated.
