Squid Gaff

[denis barden]

Has anybody used one of these guys or is it another Wank?

I always grab my squid with my hand rather than netting or gaffing. Seems a lot easier, and far less messy cos I can always point em away from the boat that way.

Fine on boats but I wonder how you will do that in Flinders pier, Sorrento, Portsea, Rye and Mornington.

Squid gaff is better than using nets. No mess to clean up, easy to carry. I use one that extends to 12 feet. No issues pulling one up from Flinders pier.

Squid gaffs are a god send for the landbased squid fisho. For a big one Hook the top half of the hood and lift. Empties out the hood at the same time making it easier to lift.

Yeah, designed for the land based guys, not needed in a boat. Try landing a big squid at lorne or flinders and you will wish you had one

very handy at piers hard to get them up without one if there just hooked by a candle

I use a net, purely because I can net squid as well as fish while a gaff is limited to just squid.

the price of them has come down some what they use to be around 300, I have used mine a lot at Portsea, Sorrento, Rosebud and off the rocks.

Not my gaff. Mine is customized and uses 12/0 trebles. It can hold on to a biggie.
