CharkBait! New Fixed Gaffs Every boat needs at least one good gaff, and probably two or three are the norm. Each a bit different. We have a couple 4 inch gap fixed head gaffs for you. They're available in four or six foot lengths, made from fiberglass with a meaty stainless steel hook. It's a perfect size for dealing with schoolie tuna, albacore, yellowtail, halibut and most any fish in that 15-50# class...or better if you're lucky. We've opted for a bit sharper cut on our hooks than any you'll see running up to $100 range. The gauge of the stainless steel is larger, the dual sharpened point offering greater penetration, as well as strength. Our shaft is also fairly heavy, testament to it's durability and strength. It's solid, not hollow, and the gaff features long lasting EVA handle material to provide a secure grip. If you are looking for a good quality all purpose gaff, and strength is a consideration, this powerhouse is a dandy value and something you'll enjoy having aboard the boat for a lot of years. Buy Description Price CharkBait 4 foot fiberglass gaff $34.99 CharkBait 6 foot fiberglass gaff $39.99 Flying Gaffs For fishermen targeting Thresher and Mako Sharks, there are two pieces of equipment we highly recommend: a good quality flying gaff and a release stick. 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. 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.
