I haven't checked all of them but from memory there was a detailed discussion about making one.

There is a patented sand spear. A link to the full patent is below with detailed drawings and description. Please be aware that if you copy it, even for your own use, you may be in breach of the patent. The "Claims" on page 8 onwards are what define the invention and this is the part that you would need to get around if producing something that does that same job.
