If you are into making your own, search this site for examples. People use everything from bamboo to hockey sticks to golf clubs for the handles, and but the hooks Pike referenced. I had my brother make hooks from old hay-rake tines, then put them on bamboo handles. There's also at least one member making really nice gaffs for sale.
