PROMAR ELITE SERIES CARBON FIBER GAFF

After seeing this gaff at the Fred Hall Show, an annual So Cal fishing and outdoors extravaganza, I knew I wanted one.

As mentioned above, I have used this model Promar gaff, as well as other models of similar design, from Promar. I have one of their telescopic less expensive ones that I have used on my kayaks in the past, knowing full well that I would eventually like to upgrade. I tend to shop and compare when it comes to most items, being tools, sporting equipment, or whatever. I was immediately impressed by the detail and quality of the build in this gaff. It is lightweight without feeling cheap or flimsy in the hands.

Quick hits:
- Lightweight carbon fiber - feels solid!
- Sharp stainless hook (would have liked a tether for the point cover though)
- Nice turks-head finishing touches with a solid tuna-cord wrap and more than ample flex-coat on the wraps for no-slip grip even with slimy wet hands
- Rubber butt cap will prevent scratches to your boat and also protects the carbon fiber blank from impact that could lead to fracture

This is a great gaff. Promar and their sister company, Ahi, make solid products that are a decent portion of my stash of gear. I know they stand behind what they make and sell and, talking to the staff at the fishing shows, they put a lot of research into their products before they hit the market. Even afterward, they continue to look for ways to improve what they sell.

This is a great gaff. The turks-head knots provide great grip when wet and slippery. It's very lightweight and easy to handle. It is super sharp. I didn't want to spend this much on a gaff, but I'm certainly glad I did. It's wonderful. I hope they begin providing that little point protector (because it's really sharp) that other gaffs have. I took the one off of my tiny old gaff and made it fit this one.

This is a beautiful Gaff, very light and top quality. I would Highly Recommend this Gaff if looking for a sturdy and great gripping for Ocean catches, it also floats.

Solid gaff and light weight!

Nice fish gaff for the money and appears to be well built. Light weight makes it easy to use one handed. Have not had a chance to use it yet so cannot speak to sturdiness or durability.
