Aftco Taper Tip Boathook Gaff

AFTCO Taper-Tip aluminum fishing gaffs are available in our traditional rich Gold and our also popular lustrous Black finishes - both anodized for lasting beauty and resistance to corrosion. The shafts are made from corrosion-resistant 6061 T6 marine aluminum - the same material used in our famous ´Unibutts®´ - and they are ´swaged´ for uniform strength from end to end, but with no unnecessary weight. All models are fitted with soft but rugged black grips molded from the same non-slip material found on the finest fishing rods. Black vinyl butt caps seal out corrosive moisture and prevent deck scarring. Our gaff hooks are fashioned from stainless steel rods, with easy-to-sharpen triangular points. Rod diameters are 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 and 1/2-inch, and offered are hooks with 2, 3, 4 and 5-inch ´throats.´ Some gaffs float, unless otherwise indicated below. With shafts of 3/4 and 1-inch butt diameters, Taper-Tip Gaffs are available in overall lengths of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 feet.


Technology:

- TAPER-TIP ALUMINUM GAFFS: The slim, tapered shape of AFTCO’s Taper-Tip Aluminum Gaffs makes them lightning fast in the water — easier to maneuver and deadly accurate. Theyre stronger and lighter too, so they bring fish into the boat with less flailing and confusion. The shafts are made from corrosion-resistant marine aluminum — the same material used in our famous “Unibutts®” — and they are “swaged” for uniform strength from end to end, but with no unnecessary weight.

- TAPER-TIP FLYING GAFFS: The barbed hooks are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and will not straighten out in use. The triangular points give better penetration and are easy to sharpen. Available in 5, 6, 8 and 10-inch sizes. All four fit in the same shaft.
