Ideal for king mackerel tournament fishermen, this AFTCO 12-foot, two-piece gaff features a black anodized shaft that is divided into an eight-foot forward section with hook, and a four-foot rear section, complete with two rugged black vinyl grips. Constructed from the same 6061-T6 marine grade aluminum thats a feature of other gaffs in the AFTCO line, this model is joined in the middle with a ferrule and collet nut characteristic of the AFTCO Unibutt, the standard for the industry. The ferrule and collet nut "joint" is extremely strong, lightweight and fully waterproof when assembled. Both the ferrule and collet nut are permanently attached to the 8-foot forward section, which can optionally be used as a stand-alone gaff. When both sections are used together, the two pieces can be separated in seconds and stored separately. Equipped with a three-inch stainless steel hook, this is an ideal gaff for landing king mackerel, wahoo, dolphin and tuna, as well as other medium-sized saltwater gamefish.
