does the hook on your gaff get rusty? If not, who made it and where did you get it? thanks

Hell yeah! Mine does. Works just fine, easy to sharpen too

I would actually have to USE my gaff for it to get rusty! LOL.

Stainless will rust eventually if you don't take care of it. Freshwater rinse, hand dry, and a Corrosion-X treatment every now and then will help prevent rust. I use Mustads and mine shine like new. A little TLC goes a long way.

Can't get rusty if it doesn't touch the water, mine only comes a long for the ride just for fun

But I still rince it after each trip.
