CharkBait & Seeker New Product - a must-have for private boaters Here's a new CharkBait exclusive every private boater will appreciate. I know I do, I've owned a Seeker Gaff for probably 20 years now, have always preferred it's feel and weight to aluminum gaffs. Mine's old, but still a great gaff to own and use. Seeker builds a great rod, they are among the top tier of rod manufacturers in the world. In my estimation Seeker and Calstar are the top producers of finished rods, period, end of statement. Well, I was over at their factory a few weeks ago talking with their production manager, and we struck upon an idea... The fruits of which are posted here. Seeker's gaffs are nothing short of exceptional, made on one of their blanks with a very sharp and strong hook. Given the use of a rod blank for the shaft, there's a certain springiness, a bit of "action" and better feel to the device. In the case of the gaffs we have to offer, they feature a nice Turks head, use of tuna cord and the prettiest darn wrap job you've ever seen on a gaff. Seeker's using some of their better blanks in production of our gaffs, in lengths of approximately 4, 5 and 6 feet. All the hooks are the same size, about 2.5" which is a perfect size for most species of fish in my opinion. No, it's not a proper gaff for LARGE tuna, the hook gap is too small, same for larger mako or thresher sharks. But, for the majority of what we catch, from smaller schoolie tuna, albacore, yellowtail, bonito, bass and barracuda, it's perfection. The gaffs are available using a quality black Seeker rod blank, but we also had them make some up using Seeker's new Hercules blank in red. Both gaffs are flat out beautiful pieces of equipment, and will be things you will absolutely love owning for many, many years to come. Buy Description Price CB Seeker Gaff approximately 4 feet length - black $59.99 CB Seeker Gaff approximately 5 feet length - black $69.99 CB Seeker Gaff approximately 6 feet length - black $79.99 CB Seeker Gaff approximately 4 feet length - Hercules RED $69.99 CB Seeker Gaff approximately 5 feet length - Hercules RED $79.99 Rounding out our line of gaffs are four new ones of our own production. Taking things a step further, we also have made up some aluminum shaft gaffs, floaters, with 4" gap hooks in several sizes. These are made in our classic red anodized color finish, with stainless steel hooks and also offer a hook guard. The gaffs also come with a cover, and are available in 3, 4, 5 and 6 foot lengths. Pictured showing off the new gaffs is Blake (the guy below, not the cute gal to the left...who actually works in the office here), our newest full-time staff member here at CB Huntington Beach. Blake comes to us fresh out of military service, Army, after serving in Korea and Afghanistan where he earned his Purple Heart. He's an avid inshore fisherman, surf, bay, you name it he gets out there and does it. If you are local and trying to discover where to go to catch some fish, see Blake, he'll put you on 'em. He's also been handling the majority of spooling for clients who order on-line, ties a darn good knot!

You'll no doubt make use of these essential items, and a fixed head gaff too, but a flyer is essential to safe sharking. You don't want to stick a fish that's known to roll with a fixed head gaff as your primary device for the end game. This week we show off a couple of nice ones. We have a couple of locally manufactured products that will fit the bill for you. The first features a metal shaft, in a seven and four inch hook gap - pictured right. The second model, shown below, uses a fiberglass shaft, that cuts the weight a tad. Both are quality made products with stainless steel hooks of lasting quality and strength. The Precision model carries a lifetime manufacturer's warrantee, and the shaft floats, too. The Precision release stick is a safe and sane way to get your expensive lure and/or hooks back from the mouth of a rather toothy critter. (It's the item in the photo that has loop instead of a gaff-hook in the picture to the left). For catch and release fishing it's an essential. You simply move the open ended loop of metal around your line, move it down towards the bend in the hook and give a direct but not jaw busting "pop" to remove the hook from the fish's mouth. Simple, safe and effective in separating the fish from your line - at a distance. Also pictured is the four foot Precision flying gaff, a great size to have on any boat - but especially for say a 24 foot or smaller craft. PLEASE consider a release stick a necessity rather than an optional item if you intend to go sharking. These fish stocks are under pressure from parasites (meaning long lines, shark-fin-soup commercial slaughterers...). If you like to feel the excitement of having something large, with substance, pealing off line and putting up a serious fight, there is no more reliably caught fish in the sea than a pissed-off shark. They can be caught almost all year long, they can be big, and they can even go acrobatic on you with a display of leaping you won't believe (makos are known for that, but there are times when a thresher will make you want to dive for cover - and sit for a while afterward in awe of what you've just seen (I've been there!). Shark ethics for me means don't harvest more than one a year (and it's been years since I've kept one). While some do love the meat, it's not my favorite, and one fish can go a looooong way in terms of feeding the family. So, please consider your needs, don't kill one unless you intend to eat it, and weigh that consumption against the joy of pulling on a shark now and in the future. Practice catch and release, grab a release stick - and use it.

AFTCO
AFTCO came out with a GREAT series of gaffs for 2008, much nicer in my opinion than the older aluminum style one's they are most known for. The new gaffs are similar to Seeker's line, they're based on a rod blank of appropriate strength. We have these in several lengths and hooks sizes, to suit most fishermen's needs.
