The Maui fish hook is a symbolic design representing strength, prosperity, abundance, and a deep connection to the ocean. Also known as the Polynesian fishing hook, it is most notably linked to the demigod Maui, who is said to have used the magical fish hook to pull the Hawaiian Islands from the sea. Today, the Maui fish hook is commonly seen in jewelry, carvings, and artwork, serving as a meaningful reminder of our respect for nature, courage, and the spirit of adventure.

At Whaler’s Locker, our collection of Polynesian fishing hooks is vast and features hand-carved hooks using natural and composite materials. These Maui fish hooks are carved from authentic materials, including white turquoise, deer antler, koa wood, Hawaiian mouflon sheep horn, Steller’s Sea cow bone, and more. With pendant shapes from round to oval and even ones that are carved into whale tails, there is a Polynesian fishing hook for everyone in this collection.

Maui fish hooks are a popular purchase for anyone who appreciates their deep cultural significance and aesthetic appeal. With many of them carved by local Maui artists, Polynesian fishing hooks are a great way to show your appreciation for Hawaiian culture and celebrate the people who call the archipelago home.
