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

Anyone interested in a custom gaff, send me a pm.

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.

Thanks Easyday for the compliment!!! I have added some upgrades too, like polished stainless steel hooks and name decals.

Thanks Munoz for the compliment. You should get good use out of it with all of the good fishing happening now.

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.

Tin Slayer 28 02-23-2015 05:53 AM

Glad you like them Slobound and thanks for the order.

Tin Slayer 28 03-21-2015 06:32 AM

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.

Tin Slayer 28 07-21-2015 09:00 AM

Anyone in need of a gaff? Let me know, as I have a nice Calcutta supply and stainless hooks or Mustad hooks and many options to customize your gaff.

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!

Tin Slayer 28 07-21-2015 12:12 PM

Thanks Cadillyak for the compliment and support.

Gaffs are hand selected Calcutta bamboo that are sanded and coated with rod finish epoxy. Gaffs come with spaced cork tape underneath X wrapped heat shrink grip.

Attachment 14536

The Mustad gaff hook is wrapped with one continuous wrap around the shank and up the neck of hook. This provides an extra strong gaff hook that looks good too.

If anyone is interested in a gaff, let me know. I some new stainless hooks that are awesome for any gaff.

These hooks are stronger and harder than traditional marine stainless, which means you get a thinner hook diameter with the same strength as a thicker traditional ss hook and it is lighter too.

Tin Slayer 28 03-20-2016 07:53 AM

Who's ready for a new gaff? Send me a pm, email, or reply if you are.
