AFTCO Flying Gaff 13in Stainless Steel Hook Only

Features: AFTCO Flying Gaff 13′ SS Hook Only

The slim, tapered tips of AFTCO’s Taper-Tip Flying Gaffs slice through water faster and
with greater accuracy to minimize the problems of gaffing powerful fish. Like AFTCO’s
Taper-Tip Aluminum Gaffs, the shafts of AFTCO’s Flying Gaffs are ‘swaged’ for uniform strength
from end to end, thereby eliminating unnecessary weight. The hook seats in a tough plastic
insert fitted into the gaff tip, and is held in place by a length of 20-lb. test line tied to a steel
post affixed to the shaft. When a fish is gaffed, this line snaps, providing a clean and
immediate release. A machined aluminum gimbal at the butt of the shaft secures the
attachment rope; and along with the plastic insert in the tip, prevents water from seeping
into the shaft. If dropped overboard, the gaff handle (minus hook) will float! Shafts are 6′ 7′
long, with 1-3/8′ butt diameters fitted with two black non-slip grips, and anodized with a rich
Gold finish for beauty and resistance to corrosion. The barbed hooks are made from
corrosion-resistant stainless steel and will not straighten out in use. The triangular points
give better penetration and are easy to sharpen. AFTCO Flying Gaff Hooks are available
in 8′,10′ and 13-inch sizes. All heads fit in the same shaft.

AFTCO Flying Gaff Hooks and the AFTCO Taper-Tip Aluminum Gaff handle are sold as separate
units, so to buy a complete gaff you need to buy a shaft AND a hook.
