Calcutta Bamboo Gaffs are the top choice for serious offshore anglers. Gaining fame from commercial tuna fisherman who would use long calcutta bamboo "jack" or "lift" poles to hoist large tuna over their heads into their fishing vessel because of its lightweight, strong, and flexible properties. Due to its superior qualities over aluminum, fiberglass, and other types of wood, calcutta bamboo is the material of choice of gaffs in the offshore fishing industry.
Features:
Authentically wrapped with strong and durable cord and decorated traditionally with multiple (2) "TURKSHEAD" sailor's knots.
All gaffs are sanded smooth before multiple coats of UV-treated flexible epoxy are applied for a long lasting and beautiful finish.
Carbon Steel gaff hooks are coated with a baked-on protective finish to prevent rust while adding style to your gaff.
Calcutta Bamboo is stronger than aluminum or fiberglass gaffs. Will flex accordingly without bending or kinking like aluminum gaffs.
