Ideal for the king mackerel tournament fisherman,
the new AFTCO 12-foot, Two-Piece Gaff
features a black anodized shaft that is divided
into an eight-foot forward section with hook,
and a four-foot rear section, complete with two
rugged black vinyl grips. This new gaff is constructed
from the same 6061-T6 marine grade
aluminum that’s a feature of other gaffs in the
AFTCO line, and is joined in the middle with a
ferrule and collet nut characteristic of the
AFTCO Unibutt, the standard for the industry.
The ferrule and collet nut “joint” is extremely
strong, lightweight and fully waterproof when
assembled. Both the ferrule and collet nut are
permanently attached to the 8-foot forward
section, which can optionally be used as a
stand-alone gaff. When both sections are used
together, the two pieces can be separated in
seconds and stored separately. Equipped with
a three-inch stainless steel hook, the 3612-HB
Gaff is ideal for landing king mackerel, wahoo,
dolphin and tuna, as well as other mediumsized
saltwater gamefish.
