Seems kind of light? What do you put inside to give it some weight without losing the floating ability?

I don't put anything inside of it, you really don't need to its got enough weight to knock em out cold.

-It works fine all by itself, but if you wanted to use crushed granite, or sand it would generate enough force to crack your yak if you missed, and would not float.

This one is very similar but does not float.

Good point on the 'yak crackin' Cool idea on the cheap.

the back of my gaff works really well.... It has a wooden dowel for weight and still floats. Used it on lings before. And to be completely honest it'd be pretty sad if you swung at a fish and hit your boat.

way to be creative Billy.

I do agree that a Gaff butt works well, as do a nice pair of heavy dikes. But wood clubs from oex are pretty darn cheap anyways.

And btw, your not going to crack a yak by hitting it while swinging at a fish with a billy club. Probably not even if your swinging at the yak. So unless our paddling a fiberglass boat, I wouldn't worry about that. Ive hit some boats very hard with hammers and such, nothing happens for the most part.

What really sucks is when you swing and miss the fish and the yak but connect with your knee

You do understand that the phrase "generate enough force to crack your yak" is a metaphor don't you ?

ie. not literally applicable. Spit the hook.lol

Then why be concerned with it?
To be honest I don't think you could "knock a fish out cold" with that. Or was that a metaphor too?

Buy the way, you do understand "enough force to crack your yak" wouldn't be a metaphor don't you? More of a hyperbole.
