Hello David,
You'd need green bamboo: The yellow/dry quality one usually sees in stores shatters way too easily for spears (which are not thrown).
Also rattan is probably not the best choice although also utilized for some Moro spears, except if you can get a strong quality (there are a lot of different rattan species).
I'd go for those hardwoods which don't shatter easily.
Regards,
Kai
