To select the right gape
of gaff hook to be used on your targeted fish
first estimate the distance between the back or
top of the targeted fish
and its lateral line then halve it.
IE - If the estimated depth of the fish's lateral
line is 8 inches then halve it to give you the correct
gaff head size to use for that fish, a 4 inch gaped
gaff.
*The length of a fixed gaff should be determined
by location or operating conditions
*Top Shot flyer systems are 8ft or less in total
when assembled ready for use
(IGFA Regulations state that Fixed and/or Flyer
systems should not be any longer than 8 ft) Note!!! Never use a Fixed Gaff
on a shark of any Size or Type! *Only use Flyers!*
