Pa Kahawai - Blue

Pa Kahawai - Blue | Todd Douglas

Discover a truly authentic piece of New Zealand heritage with our Pā Kahawai.

This isn't just a lure; it's a traditional Māori masterpiece, expertly crafted for catching the eye of spirited kahawai fish or fisherman.

Each Pā Kahawai is a unique composite, meticulously assembled from hand crafted ceramics, timber and on a natural stone base.

You'll find a hand-carved wooden shank, a shimmering ceramic pāua shell insert that catches the light, and a precisely shaped ceramic bone barb.

These components are skillfully bound together with strong fibre, cord.

Imagine it trailing behind a canoe, the pāua shell's flash irresistible to fish.

More than a fishing tool, these pieces were often considered taonga, treasured possessions reflecting profound cultural significance and artistry.

Bring home a piece of New Zealand's rich fishing legacy and own a Pā Kahawai sculpture that tells its own story.
