Squid Gaff

[rocksy]

so, how you finding the gaff... i'm thinking about getting one very soon, since my net got ganked down at beauy.



Also is it spring loaded, or do you have to extend it manually?

Hi no i havnt but think it would be a bit long at 5 meters............you can get small ones that would be suitable for rocks .

i recon you could restrict it coming all the way out

i have not looked at one so not sure

I have the 5 m gaff and its great on a pier but as you said a bit of a pain inthe bum on rocks. yes you can restrict it but hard whrn you have a rod in one hand and a monster squid ont he line and trying to keep the line tight. The gaffs are great and thats why I have another one on order 3 m from japan.

[masejess33]

Yeah until you use one you dont know how it feels, i have used one of the net poles that my fishing mate has but it was abit old and bulky.

i guess i will just have to get one

[samoi]

I am getting one for sure!!!!!!!!!! "Added to the cart" better than using the crab net. lol

[Peter Hugill]

I often catch humbodlts in San Diego, in the states, and it would be really cool to have one of those onboard, we use nets.

Ill have to check that out

Skipper wouldn't you need something like a fixed gaff, those humbolts get pretty big don't they!?

[cedric]

i used it for the first time last month

it's really easy to use, and i would never capture this 2.5 kg sépia without it!



think to pass it on freshwater when you're back home, it's oxydating!

Well in San Diego I catch them at about 40lb average, however you're right. I need a gaff with one hook, but I think Ill stick with nets

what one did you get?

[bigpat]

Ordered the 5 mtr model to cover all situations. I wanted a grey gaff, but they are on backorder. Had to choose between the red and yellow models in stock. I went with red......
