[quote name='egingsquid' post='20107' date='Jul 24 2010, 02:45 PM']Not many people knows that the instant breaking limit for standard gaff head for Auto King Gaff 500 is 2kg and max load limit is 5kg.
Daiichiseiko found that the standard gaff head breaks easily, then they start to make stronger XS gaff head.[/quote]
g,day all my gaff has been fine no problems caught a couple of larger models no probs.......but with anything they all have a limit to there capacity, around melbourne the majority of squid would be lifted by the gaff without hassle, if you were costantly catching squid 1.5 2kg and up then youd probably want a crane.
the gaff also has metal rings on the first few segments to stop spliting..........i,ve seen cheaper ones but there no qualiy and no rings.
Caught five yesterday morning between 6/7 am also had a monster come up following another squid small one estimation about 30cm hood the other approx 45 cm plus they would come up close to jig but wouldnt touch.........tried all my best jigs no go.....
