I use one like this. It definitely won't get any oohs and aahs the way some custom gaffs do. It will eventually rust away a lot faster than a stainless one would (if the later rusts away at all in your lifetime). However, it is just as or more effective at getting a fish over the rail than any gaff out there. The barbs make it practically foolproof. Earlier this year I noticed that J&M had some of these in stock.

Ironman is not building any more gaffs at this time.
Sabikis. When did they first show up on the pier. I remember using gold hook rigs for many years before ever seeing sabikis. Also, I remember pier#r making a rig with a slip sinker, swivel, short...
Do the fish stand a chance?
