i agree for the squid we catch the gaff is great. i have both the 3 m and 5 me and never had it break. You watch the japanese videos and they lift some monsters with these gafs. i thing it will depend on the angle you lift up a big squid. typically when you use the gaf you are pulling them up vertically so the weight is distributes okay. Im sure if I tried to lift it up horizontally it may break. by from the pier once you hook the squid you simply pull up..
