English Collapsible Fishing Gaff of Brass, Copper and Steel
About the Item
A fine English collapsible fishing or fisherman's gaff (hook) of brass, copper, and steel with a rubber grip handle, in working order.
Marked: Made in Great Britain
In fishing, a gaff is a pole with a sharp hook on the end that is used to stab a large fish and then lift the fish into the boat or onto shore.
Ideally, the hook is placed under the backbone. Gaffs are used when the weight of the fish exceeds the breaking point of the fishing line or the fishing pole. A gaff cannot be used if it is intended to release the fish unharmed after capture, unless the fish is skillfully gaffed in the lip, jaw, or lower gill using a thin gaff hook.
