  Roy, it's a pitch fork looking "weapon." You can either use live bait or decoys to call in the pike...then you lunge the spear into the water (connected ...more to a rope) and it is VERY efficient! I've never gone, but I have watched TONS of youtube videos on it! Search "darkhouse spearing" if you're interested! That's a GREAT pike through the ice much less on a spear!
