I have a special order for a friend, so while laying out his today, I am cutting enough for 5 more(6 total) that the material will allow without waste ....been waiting on warmer weather here that might be right around the corner along with king fishing down there....I hate to just send 1 in the box....but will, if no other interest
thanks for looking
It will be on it's way soon, weather and time permitting here
Everyone needs an Ironman gaff. Hopefully it won't be long before some are put to use.
Thanks David for the kind words !!
reality is ....there is only so many gaff's needed on the pier, and I think there is plenty now on any given day to gaff the fish and people willing to use them, this one is just returning a favor from last fall fishing trip
How much? I had someone asking me about a gaff a few days ago.
I still want one!
I sent you a pm a month or so ago?? at the time I didn't realize your location wasn't down there....still do-able if you want and a 5 prong can be made, after the layout on cutting, I have two extra pieces to make 2 - 5 prong gaff's without messing up the other 4's.....I will send a PMQuote:

the one picture is for comparison to my store bought first king gaff
these have handled cobia,larger jack's, and king's to almost 40lbs
65 for the 4 prong and 80 for a 5 prong(more for the time needed to get everything right to weld.....a pain in the A$$).....plus shipping cost that is around 17.00 for the size of the box needed to ship....paid in advance with postal money order
thanks for looking
you probably need some anchors for your (trolly) pin line fishing (8oz with heavy gauge copper wire legs)that can be steel too
.
Proof positive these gaffs work, especially if Haywire is manning the rope. One ling (minimum) guaranteed per gaff..... :)

that is a good looking ROLL TIDE gaff that Mr. Wire has , he shares sooooo much with it and his net along with his vast knowledge!!!
You don't have to convince me just check out the first cobia Wilson caught last year.Only thing I see wrong with it is the color orange.
I would like a gaff. I have a trip planned for mid May. Is there a local who wouldnt mind hanging on to one for me if I send the money by mail?
closing this thread....not making anymore unless like before...... for a good cause(benefit tourney) or for a friend ....after messing with these last few(still not done) and working the new job..... I am wore out at the end of the day or weekend ....it used to be every day was like the weekend(when retired), but now the weekends are for me to do what I want or rest .....thanks for reading and some interest also the kind words....the people that wanted 1...... have one
Bill, want to thank you again for the gaff from a couple of years ago. Hope to see you on the rock later this year.
Hey Iron Man i just saw the post,how hard would it be to get a four pronger?
I just pulled the Ironman Crimson Tide Death Gaff out of storage a couple of weeks ago just to see if the gremlins that tangle lines during the off season had gotten at it. It will be open for business when the time comes.
almost impossible ....I haven't finished the ones I started a week or so ago....did get them welded up over the weekend, and poured lead in 1 last night, then I died, had to get horizontal..... hope to do 1 more tonight(maybe 2 ??.... lead pouring) ....but today was a hard day at work ....so??Quote:
