A machined aluminum gimbal at the butt of the shaft secures the attachment rope.
The plastic insert in the tip, prevents water from seeping into the shaft.
Shafts are 6 foot long, with 1-3/8 inch butt diameters fitted with two black non-slip grips.
Anodized with a rich Gold finish for beauty and resistance to corrosion.
This gaff floats.
The slim, tapered shape of AFTCO''s Tapper-Tip Flying Gaffs slice through watetr faster and with greater accuracy to minimize the problems of gaffing powerful fish. The shafts are made from corrosion-resistant marine aluminum and they are "swaged" for uniform strength from end to end, but with no unnecessary weight. The hook seats in a tough plastic insert fitted to the gaff tip, and is held in place by a length of 20-lb. test line tied to the steel post affixed to the shaft. When a fish is gaffed, this line snaps, providing a clean and immediate release.
