It's like basket weaving but with cord and you wrap around your blank.

There's a tutorial buried in the BD rod building forum from the master himself, Steve "Rooster" Paterson of Rooster Custom Rods. I was fortunate enough to learn from him live in person.

Hard to type it out and explain step by step (I'm not the best at it) so here's a couple more pics I took during the build. Once you figure it out it's fairly simple, just tedious.

Just ordered a skiff anchor and some lasso rope. Hope to get front row seats to the La Jolla rodeo.

by doing this you know your supporting my mindless behavior?

if your gaff is sealed on both ends it should float fine being bamboo, otherwise you could fill it with insulation foam that comes in a can. that way no water gets in it and it stays buoyant.

Just beautiful weaving. Maybe too much so. I'd cry if I lost a gaff like that. Or just look forward to making another one. Mike

That looks awesome!

You should edit the title to, "Made me a bad-ass gaff".

Just curious, what was the overall cost?
