Description

Details The newest gaff to the Aftco lineup. This 8-foot Gaff is built out of Carbon Fiber which decreases the overall weight while maintaining strength and coming in at under 1 pound. This gaff like the aluminum and fiberglass uses the same stainless-steel hook and the same manufacturing process meaning the hook will not twist or pull out. Unique to this gaff is the rubber gimbal allowing you to place the gaff in a rod holder and not spin. For the grips we utilized shrink tubing which gives you a great grip even when wet. Features Weighs under 1 pound for easy handling Lightweight and durable carbon fiber shaft Corrosion-resistant stainless steel hook Non-slip grips with gimbal end for secure control Carbon Fiber Gaff Shaft Stainless-Steel Hook Rubber gimbal Shrink tube grips

Field Notes

Used for landing and controlling large saltwater fish at boatside. The carbon fiber shaft keeps it light for quick handling, while the stainless hook and gimbal help secure fish without twisting in the rod holder. Best suited for offshore or big inshore applications where a gaff is needed to finish the catch.
