Less the long and narrow and more how it's used.

A fishing net is also long and narrow, but we usually wouldn't call it a spear because that's not how you use it. If you spear something with your net you've made a mistake.

Personally, I'd say a duck beak is "spoonish", and the fish hunters are "grabby". Some are tweezery, and some are tongy.
