And the promar gaffs DO NOT float. Mine sunk in about 2 seconds flat, gone!...

Yes, these Gaffs do float and it's a nice reassurance knowing it won't sink to the bottom

Here is a new color combo, black with a double layered spotted grey and blue cord with a tiger wrap and the new Precision Marine polished stainless steel hook made just for bamboo gaffs.

I ordered a few customized gaffs from Daryl and they arrived this week. I have to say, they are absolutely AMAZING!!! Can't wait to show a fish the business end of this piece of art.

I am adding a new hook to my lineup, a stainless steel 2/0 hook. Hook options range from standard Mustad gaff hooks, to Precision Marine 2.5/0 polished stainless and stainless hooks, and very soon 2/0 stainless hooks.

If anyone is interested in a gaff give me an email dmorita28@gmail.com or pm me.

Bumping for the season that is upon us. If you are in need of a gaff or just want an upgraded customized one, let me know. I have standard more affordable gaffs that you can A La Carte upgrade to meet your price point, or you get a super custom one.

Check out the new 2/0 stainless steel hook by Baston that I am offering. It is light and strong with a thinner gauge diameter hook, which does less damage to meat (if you're a meat gaffer). This one is set inline and wrapped for decoration and strength on the outside.

Guys, I'm still new to yak fishing but am slowly building up to going out to open waters. If you gaff a fish, is it guaranteed dead? If I wanted to catch and release something big like some of the yellows you all are catching, can I gaff it, and then release it?

I don't know of any other way to secure a huge fish like that to remove the hook easier than gaffing it. Or do some of you use those fish grips to de-hook the fish?

I would LOVE to order one of these awesome looking gaffs though. How do I do that?

Gaffing a fish is only half of the battle, and they damn sure aren't guaranteed dead. Just look at some of ful-rac's halibut videos. Also, you only want to gaff fish that you intend on keeping. DO NOT gaff a fish you plan on releasing. They may swim off, but have a pretty decent chance of dying. Use fish grips, and net (if a halibut, there are special nets that don't shred their tails), or just handle them boat side. If they break the line, call it an early release.


Oh and to TinSlayer..... The Gaff you made was unbelievable. You are truly an artist. Cant wait to get her bloody! For anyone on the fence like I was about getting one made, DO IT!! I only wish I had done it months ago!
