Gaff length - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Bamboo fishing rods once had their time and place too, but I think that time has passed.

try to buy a good bamboo rod and you will see their time hasn't passed, it's just gotten too expensive for most of us.

Bamboo is light for it strenth and strong for it's weight.

I'm making a gaff from a 24" axe handle, I like the oval shape in my hand, it will keep the gaff straight when I strike and it will make a good priest if I need one.
