AFTCO Flying Gaff Complete With Hook

The slim, tapered tips of AFTCO Flying Gaff Complete with
Hook slice through water faster and with greater accuracy
to minimize the problems of gaffing powerful fish. Like the
Taper-Tip Aluminum Gaffs, the shafts of these 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 of the AFTCO Flying Gaff Complete with Hook
are 6′ 7″ long, with 1-3/8″ butt diameters fitted with two black
non-slip grips, and anodized with a rich Gold or lustrous Black
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. Flying Gaff Hooks are
available in 5, 6, 8 and 10-inch sizes. All four fit in the same
shaft.
