Thread: Making pier gaff

Playing around with a few pier gaff's for the up coming trip....not real happy with my old 5 prong ling gaff, so I wanted to make a new and improved one..... with only 4 prong's and longer too...9 & 10 inches

they aren't done and in the building stage for now, just clamped some together for a picture...any and all suggestion are more then welcome....

How much for a ling gaff i like em

Also like the gaff to have a point not a razor 45 egde on it cuz it can cut the mono/braid when gaffing a ling/king

Here's a mini I made this morning. 16/0 treble about 5" high w/ about 3.75" point to point gap. Used a 4" piece of Type M 3/4" copper pipe. Total weight somewhere between 1.5 and 2 pounds. Have about $12 in it.
