3 ft. seem just right, it gives you good leverage and control.

Also, think about the length and strength of your arm.
If you have long arms, that means another possible two + feet on your gaff. Some like a longer gaff to help increase their pulling strength, or to allow it to slip a bit. Mine is about 24", but I have long arms and can reach it over four feet to the tip. Obviously, think about how you're going to store it on the boat, that may make the length decision for you. Willy |

I agree with Tyler on this one completely!! I use a 40" gaff which seems long but alot of the time its just about right! Anywhere between 2'-4' will work just perfect!
