Gaff - What Length
Submitted by selthy on Tue, 2018-11-13 21:10
Thinking about getting a gaff for when the water warms up a little and the mackie’s arrive. Looked at one today measuring 1.6m and it seemed a little longer than I was thinking I would need.
What length pole do you like using from your boat?

Length???
Wouldn't worry too much on length
being in the boat ! More so on shot
placement being a mouth or jaw
shot mate .. easier too control fish

How big's your boat Selthy
How big's your boat Selthy and how high out of the water? Mine's about 1.6 and I'm in a 540 Coastrunner, it's pretty well perfect.
Love the West!

best Gaff
is 182 cm, comes in blue and yellow, but can cause SERIOUS damage to jaws .....

Love it. Need more than 1mil a year for 7 years to purchase it though. Was hoping for something a bit cheaper.
