Thread: Who's Building Pier Gaffs?

Ironman i've seen your gaffs in action, if you ever decided to make more or sell one you have laying around you shoot me a price and im sure we can work out a satisfatory deal to both parties, i never try to price another mans work, they know better than me the time and cost of materials going into a project

I usually would make them in 3's.....making one for the tourney, and most likely 2 extra then, but planned on them hanging on the shelf for the future Bryan Bennett tourneys, so They would already be done.....that is more important then the money in the sale of them......helping Lisa out a little......I know there is way more that others do for it......and donations

Thanks for the kind words

I plan on fishing the tourney this year, maybe i will get lucky and win the one you build for it

If not winning maybe the winner would sell it to you.....many own 1 so you have that chance too.....thank you for fishing the tourney.....wish I could. ....never know

For comparison my Ironman gaff has four 1/2 inch stainless arms, just over 4 lbs with lead cylinder .75 inches around shaft between base and top of arm-points, 4.5 inch clearance of arms to center, round cone points on arms and 18 inches tall. No visible welds or sharp edges to snag or cut line.

mm rod stock, just slightly under 3/8in, 308 stainless. .....all the rest is correct.....tig welded the tear drop rope eye.....stick welded under lead prong's to main shaft.....pencil points needing slightly touched up with file to hone the points

The cobia gaff's were in 1/2 in stainless ,9 to 10lg points 5+ pounds
