Aftco Flying Gaff 8-Inch Stainless Steel Hook Only – Kilwell

Designed for dependable boat-side gaffing, this hook-only piece from Kilwell follows the proven AFTCO flying gaff concept while giving you the flexibility to pair with your preferred gaff pole. The 8-inch length provides extended reach for securing larger game without crowding the cockpit, allowing for quick, controlled gaffing when every second counts.

Why this hook stands out

• Durable stainless steel construction offers solid strength and excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.
• Hook-only configuration reduces bulk and lets you attach to a gaff shaft or handle you already own, enabling a custom setup that fits your boat and technique.
• Precise 8-inch reach gives you the balance between distance from the boat and leverage for a secure grab on fish like tuna or marlin in tough conditions.
• Simple, straightforward maintenance: rinse after use, dry thoroughly, and wipe with a light oil to guard against rust on exposed metal surfaces.
