Aftco Fly Gaffs
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 our Taper-Tip
Aluminum Gaffs, the shafts of our 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 feet long, with 1-3/8 inch butt diameters fitted
with two black non-slip grips, and anodized with a lustrous Black finish for beauty and resistance to corrosion.
We will splice a 25' 5/8 nylon rope with spliced loop on to any head you choose for $40.00.
