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

My gaffs are around 36" long. That's maybe longer than needed but its comfortable for me. It seams like no matter what length a gaff is you always want to reach and lean toward the fish. Mike

24" gaff is perfect for me.

My old gaff was around 24" and I just built a new one at around ~36". I wanted a longer gaff for me personally, because I've had some situations where I've needed to extend further to reach a fish in the kelp.
