DOUBLE THE DEPTH OF PENETRATION OF ANY OTHER GAFF HOOK. DIRECTION OF PULL TRUE TO THE LOAD LIFT LINE.

MINIMAL PENETRATION AND DIRECTION PULL IS OFF THE TRUE LOAD LIFT LINE.

FISH
CONTROL

EXCELLENT CONTROL OVER LARGE FISH AS THE LOAD AND SHOCK IS TAKEN UP BY THE FIBREGLASS POLE.

LIMITED CONTROL OVER FISH DUE TO THE USE OF RIGID ALUMINIUM POLES. THIS RESULTS IN LOAD AND SHOCK BEING TRANSERRED TO THE OPERATOR.

LIFTING
CAPABILITY

HOOK DESIGN CREATES A CENTRAL LINE OF PULL ALONG THE POLE SHAFT / ROPE ASSISTS OPERATOR WHEN LANDING FISH

OFF CENTRE LINE LIFT IS POOR AND OF LIMITED ASSISTANCE. RIGID ALUMINIUM POLES BEND AND REMAIN THIS WAY. LIFT IS AGAINST THE OPERATOR DUE TO THE LINE BEING OFF CENTRE.

GAFF HEAD
STRENGTH

2205 MARINE GRADE STAINLESS STEEL. GEOMETRICALLY DESIGNED SHAPE VERY DIFFICULT TO STRAIGHTEN.

316 STAINLESS STEEL BAR STOCK ONLY. COLD BENT "J" SHAPE MEAT HOOK EASILY OPENED OUT DUE TO DESIGN BEING OFF CENTRE TO THE LINE OF LIFT.

FISH
RELEASING

MINIMAL DAMAGE TO FISH. POINT AND SHAPE DESIGN PROVIDE A CLEAN ENTRY POINT - LESS LIKELY TO CUT FISH OPEN.

EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO FISH HIGHLY POSSIBLE (THROUGH POOR HOOK DESIGN) MAY HAVE A CAN OPENING EFFECT.

CORROSION

NONE DUE TO HAND GRINDING, HAND POLISHING USING A HIGHER QUALITY MATERIAL.

POSSIBLE DUE TO BEING ONLY CHEMICALLY POLISHED BAR STOCK.

LIFE EXPECTANCY
OF THE GAFF

LIFE TIME UNDER NORMAL FISHING CONDITIONS. NO ELECTROLYSIS BY USING NO CORROSIVE MATERIAL.

LIMITED LIFE IN SALT WATER ENVIRONMENT. HIGH FACTOR OF ELECTROLYSIS. BAD CORROSION PROPERTIES BETWEEN MATERIALS.

GAFF HEAD
DESIGN

PURPOSELY DESIGNED FOR STRENGTH AND WEIGHT. UNIVERSITY TESTED, EXTENSIVELY FIELD TESTED FOR ITS APPLICATION.

VERY POOR GEOMETRICALLY. NOT REALLY DESIGNED FOR THIS APPLICATION LIKE A MEAT HOOK! USED FOR GENERATIONS AS A MEANS TO AN END.

GRIP
STABILITY

STREAMLINE. EXCELLENT GRIP IN WET OR DRY CONDITIONS, LONG LASTING REFERBISHABLE.

HARDENS AND CRACKS IN THE SALT WATER ENVIRONMENT. COMES OFF POLES WITH AGE. NOT REFERBISHABLE.

QUALITY
OF FINISH

TOP QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL. HOUND GROUND, HAND POLISHED, HAND SHARPENED, INDIVIDUALLY INSPECTED.

STANDARD STAINLESS BAR STOCK MASS PRODUCED. PRODUCTION LINE CHECK, CHEMICALLY POLISHED LOWER QUALITY FINISH.

GAFF HANDLE
DESIGN

FIBREGLASS POLES DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED UNDER OUR SPECS. 15 DEGREE DEFLECTION CAPABILITY, HIGHLY DURABLE IN SALTWATER CONDITIONS.

ALUMINIUM, MINIMAL DEFLECTION, CORRODES IN SALTWATER.

EASE OF
USE

DESIGNS ALLOWS FOR CORRECT APPROACH AND ALIGNMENT WHEN PRESENTED AT THE FISH. THE ANGLES OF THE GAFF HEAD ALLOW FOR PENETRATION AND EFFICIENT RETRIEVAL BY THE OPERATOR WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE FISH.

DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE CORRECT APPROACH AND ALIGNMENT WHEN PRESENTED AT THE FISH. THE "J" DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW THESE EFFICIENCIES WHICH INSTINCTIVELY LEADS TO A POOR PLACEMENT AND SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO THE FISH.

THE POINT
DESIGN

HAND GROUND STELLITE EDGED THREE BLADED POINT DESIGN - REMAINS SHARP.

SHARPENED STAINLESS POINT ONLY. WILL NOT STAY SHARP.
