FINALLY AFTER REDOING OUR GAFF AND BUILDING IT BY HAND AND PROGRAMMING IT ON SOLID

[SESSAGAFF]

WORKS IT IS DONE AND WE ARE STARTING TO MAKE THEM RIGHT NOW , NEW HOOK DESIGN AND TESTED WAY BETTER THEN REGULAR HOOK http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v696/gerome/SESSAHOOK09.jpg

[Adam12]

How is that better than a typical gaff hook?

[pchen911]

It won't tip over as easily when you lean it against a wall. :p

How is that better than a typical gaff hook?


Cuz the band GWAR would use it!!! Or possibly Rob Zombie?:sifone:

[Siebler]

I dont like to bash new ideas or anything But...

Honestly how is this any better? I know Matzuo had a similar fish hook called the Sickle bend that did prove to help with keeping fish on however as a gaff I do not see an advantage over a properly bent round style gaff hook.


Now about that Proper bend on a gaff hook... Good hooks are made by companies like Mustad. These hooks have a equal bend to them and have a gap large enough to keep a fish from easily flipping off if they start to flip around.

Gaffs with the wrong hook include the Promar hooks which are shaped all funky, and while they may work it isnt near as easy to keep a fish on them.

Now I can hear all the guys that say "Well ive never had a Problem with My Promar..". You want a true test of your Promar gaff hook try it on a Dorado and lift it into the bow of a sportboat, Youll see what I mean really quickly. And while Dorado and a sportboat may not be what you are doing eventually your going to have a Halibut or something freak out and you will see what I mean.


What I recommend is the Blue Room gaffs we sell or one of the Calcutta Gaffs that Rik at OEX KM makes and sells. These are made with the "Right" hook.

No mater what hook you have though Technique is what it all comes down to. Gaffs are sharp guys you dont have to swing really hard to get them to stick. Simple place the gaff over top of the fish with the hook pointing down. Align yourself with a good headshot and just pull it into the fish. Finesse will get you better results. I was taught to gaff fish with the same finesse as you would use as playing pool. Obviously gaffing your own fish is different as you only have one hand however you still dont need to freak out and drive it in as hard as you can, your just going to miss.

i talked to some local fisher man and asked them in a year how many gaffs do u buy one said if i dont lose it 2 a year , i then asked why 2 every year they said cuz after using it so many times it gets all rusted and corroded with nastyness and i dont want to gaff fish with it if im going to eat it ,

thats a standard metal hook

now mine are made from high strenght ''titanium'' they wont ever rust the or corrode and they float so you dont have to worry about losing them

[DESTROYER]

How about donating one of those as a raffle prize for the Steve Moyer Memorial Tournament? It's for a very good cause and we would all get to see it first hand.

[nabeeko]

That's a clean looking gaff!

Hope to see one soon!

[Gino]

[SESSAGAFF]

I HAVE CONTACTED BRENT THE OWNER OF THIS SITE HE IS ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN SELLING THESE FROM HIS SITE AND HAVE PERMISSION FROM HIM TO SELL THESE ON THIS SITE SO MALIBUJOHNNY TAKE CHILL PILL:)

[dorado50]

Oh yea, forgot to tell you, the monday morning quarterbacks are good at bashing! Like your product want to feel in person.

[bellcon]

I think it's kinda sexy looking
I too would like to see it in person...

then again what the hell is a gaff for?


oh thats right it's for when you catch a big fish
man it has been tooooo long :o
I really need to "gaff" something

[MalibuJohnny]

Here is another genius trying to create a better mouse trap!

By the way...ever since these guys, it has'nt changed much.... hook fish...get excited...gaff fish...have lunch.
The use of a landing hook, or gaff, for lifting large hooked fish from the water was noted by Thomas Barker in 1667. Improved methods of fishhook making were devised in the 1650s by Charles Kirby, who later invented the Kirby...

[SESSAGAFF]

we have decided to donate one for the moyer memorial tournament :luxhello::cheers1:

[bender0240]

Yeah. Trying to improve things is stupid.

Like when they introduced that monofilamajiggy line back in the 40s. How are the fish supposed to bite if they can't see my 1/4" thick, opaque line?? Tell me that.

Or when those idiots came out with the "internal combustion engine". My horseless carriage get's 300lbs of coal to the mile and that's the way I likes it.

And don't even get me started on those "cordless" "telephones" thing-a-ma-jigs you can "use anywhere". The only way an honest God-Fearun' man can communicate long-distance, is through the trusty, sinless telegraph, by-golly.

Enough sarcasm. I can't take it anymore. Don't mind the TROLLS. They're thick in these parts. This :the_finger: is what they look like.

Funny, these trolls you speak of are more active of members than you and also members that run this website.

All I see is true anglers questioning a product that has been Advertised on our community site without paying as a sponsor or selling these products in the stores that keep BWE alive and running smooth.

The way i read the first post was that the Shape of that hook is better than a standard hook, not that it was made of a material that would not rust or corrode (personally I dont have this problem with my gaffs anyways though).

I am glad that you guys are donating one to the Moyer event but I thought the reason we let your posts stay on our site was because you were sending us a sample so that we could decide if OEX was to carry it. Brent informed me we would be receiving a sample a long while ago when you made your first post and thats why it was never deleted. I still have not seen this sample. Without us carrying it your posts are simply stealing business from the company that keeps this webpage available.

[DESTROYER]

You will all get a first hand look at this gaff if you sign up for the Steve Moyer Memorial Tournament. Mike and his Uncle have generously donated one of their gaffs for the raffle which will be engraved with "MOYER MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT 2009". Thank you Mike!

Please sign up ASAP! http://lajollakayakfishingadventures.com/Events.shtml

I already sent Seibler a PM. I wasn't referring to him at all. His post wasn't trolling at all. Disagreement, I think, is a big part of what these forums are about and the way Seibler worded his post was completely polite(especially polite since the post is in violation) I just don't like the way Malibu goes about creaming people that post here and how he talks crap to the guy's that are giving me a lot of good advice. That's all

[Adam12]

Sessa, that is actually a nice looking gaff, I'd like to see one in person.

[SESSAGAFF]

we here at ASAP ADVANCED PRODUCTS .COM ARE donating a gaff to the MOYER MEMORIAL 2009 TOURNY SO EVERYONE WILL GET TO SEE IT IN PERSON

that engraving looks sharp, very nicely done.

[Adam12]

Nice, I'm digging the one piece construction. A little pricey for me though.

[SESSAGAFF]

how many fisherman out there buy a gaff and lose it or it get all corroded i have like 5 at my house a calcutta a promar and some bamboo ones add them together theres like 600 bucks in gaffs all corroded and rusted now im not about to gaff a fish with those since i dont like the taste of rust or nasty ness now the first gaff i made from titanium was like 2 years ago i thougtt one day ill make it out of titanium cuz i know it dont corrode or rust and just to test that facture i let it sit in my back yard in ventura tied up to rope and weighted under the water for 1 month the only thing that was on it was green alge that came off with a towel

now if you took a brand new bamboo gaff and submerged it under water for more then 2 days it would be rusty stainless steel and steel and sluminum will rust withing 24 hours but you wont see alot till the 2nd day i have been using this mock up i made for 3 years now no rust and the strengh on this thing is nuts its like thors hammer plus we have a 100% guantee if you break this thing which you wont fishing we will swap it out for a brand new one life time guarntee just make sure you break it fishing breaking it by slamming your boat cuz your bamboo gaff snapped in half on the moster u were trying to land and then to take out anger you took the sessa gaff to the side of your boat does not count:luxhello:

[dos ballenas]

Nice gaff, I'd say its worth the price.

But unfortunately, I, like many other kayakers, just can't afford a big boat (hence the kayak), or an exspensive gaff. But good luck!

just to compare, my piece-o-shiat $30 gaff has no rust, and is over three years old... only problem is the handle may not last another 3 years... but who gaffs fish in the fillets anyways?

[SESSAGAFF]

SO BUY OUR SMALLER ONE A 1 FOOT GOES FOR 87.99 AND OUR 2 FOOT GOES FOR 97.99:luxhello:

[SESSAGAFF]

and we are going to be selling the hooks alone to the hook that comes on our 3 foot gaff are the small hooks and anything over 5 foot is going to be a bigger hook so we will be selling our small hooks for 15 $ and the large for 20 $:luxhello:
