King Gaff's
I have a special order for a friend, so while laying out his today, I am cutting enough for 5 more(6 total) that the material will allow without waste ....been waiting on warmer weather here that might be right around the corner along with king fishing down there....I hate to just send 1 in the box....but will, if no other interest
thanks for looking
It will be on it's way soon, weather and time permitting hereBill..............

Everyone needs an Ironman gaff. Hopefully it won't be long before some are put to use.

Thanks David for the kind words !!
reality is ....there is only so many gaff's needed on the pier, and I think there is plenty now on any given day to gaff the fish and people willing to use them, this one is just returning a favor from last fall fishing tripBill..............

I sent you a pm a month or so ago?? at the time I didn't realize your location wasn't down there....still do-able if you want and a 5 prong can be made, after the layout on cutting, I have two extra pieces to make 2 - 5 prong gaff's without messing up the other 4's.....I will send a PM
not sure you will find anything like it on the east coast piers??
the one picture is for comparison to my store bought first king gaff
these have handled cobia,larger jack's, and king's to almost 40lbs
65 for the 4 prong and 80 for a 5 prong(more for the time needed to get everything right to weld.....a pain in the A$$).....plus shipping cost that is around 17.00 for the size of the box needed to ship....paid in advance with postal money order
thanks for looking
you probably need some anchors for your (trolly) pin line fishing (8oz with heavy gauge copper wire legs)that can be steel too

You don't have to convince me just check out the first cobia Wilson caught last year.Only thing I see wrong with it is the color orange.

I would like a gaff. I have a trip planned for mid May. Is there a local who wouldnt mind hanging on to one for me if I send the money by mail?
I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
