View Full Version : Kayak Gaff for Sale

I just picked up some very nice looking Calcutta bamboo and will be making some 3ft custom Calcutta floating bamboo gaffs. All are coated with rod finish epoxy. Gaffs come with a gapped cork tape underneath X wrapped heat shrink grip and with the gaff hook that is wrapped with one continuous wrap around gaff hook shank and up the neck of hook. This provides an extra strong gaff hook that looks good too.
3ft..........$45
I can also make any length gaff that will fit your fishing needs.
Pm me if interested.
Thank you,
Daryl

What is the diameter of the butts?
Tin Slayer 28
04-09-2013, 06:22 PM
The butt size differs depending on the bamboo, but a majority of the butts are between the diameter of a nickel to quarter size. It really depends on the piece of bamboo that is selected.
What size diameter are you looking for?

Do you make one with a 2" hook for "Log skooters"? :D

Yes I do. I have and can make you a gaff with any size hook you are looking for. I personally like the 2/0 hook size, which has a 2 1/4 inch gap. Works well gaffing all game fish from cbass, yellowtail, hailbut, etc. What length of gaff are looking for?

Thanks for the compliments. Yes, they do float, as bamboo has sections that are airtight. Call or text me when you're ready or if you have some questions.

Next time you need a gaff, at least you do not have to travel far. What city do you live in?

hmm... I might still get one. (altho.. I have yet to catch a gaff-worthy fish :rolleyes: )
They look awesome! Any other wrap colors/styles?
Maybe I'll try to stop by sometime and check one out. I'm in the Long Beach area.. not far from Raskal.
Anyone interested in buying a brand new floating Promar gaff? :toetap05:

Placed my order and got what I pretty much envisioned and some...3 feet, double 8inch grip and a wrist loop. Diameter the size of the butt of my swimbait rod.I like the way how he wrapped the hook.:you_rock:

Fishnijay, currently I have two different blues and a green for wrap colors, but I can always get different colors. Let me know what you're looking for.
Oneyedeer,
Thanks for the purchase and I'm glad you like it. Hopefully you will get to stick few of these :wsb: and some of these :yt: with your new gaff.

Gaffs look really good. I got a new one a month or so ago, and now am kicking myself. Maybe I can conjure up a reason to buy another. Hummmm. Maybe a smaller gaff to carry on those quick trips that I can't get the yak out. Dragging a three footer around when you only have 2 hours can be a hassle. Any chance you can make something half the size with same quality. Possibly with wrist type loop? A man can dream can't he!

off topic here but... how do you prevent rust on the hook?
I sand off rust and use dielectric grease but it always gets rusty again.

Have you tried rinsing in fresh water throughly wiping dry let air dry for 24 hrs then wipe down with corrosion X or Break free on a rag? That's the only thing I can think of. I hope it helps!
Then you may have to face the fact that the hook on the gaff is made from cheap SS and may have to deal with it until you replace the gaff...

The gaff hook I use is a Mustad stainless steel hook, it's the same hook all sport boats use too. Rinsing your gaff off with freshwater and drying should keep it looking nice.
Robert, thanks for the business and the compliments. Much appreciated!:cheers1:

You need one to snag those big cbass you catch, not a problem. I will send you a PM.
I picked up my gaff on Friday night from dyrel... Man pictures didn't do justice! Seeing this gaff in person was jaw dropping for me. His work is incredible, I will be a returning customer. I saw some of the rods he wrap, factory quality, just by looking at it, you can tell he takes his time and wrap those rods with love. I am very impress! I would post a pic of the gaff but I'm doing this from a phone. Thanks dyrel for the beautiful gaff!!!!
