Aftco Fiberglass Gaffs
AFTCO tapered Fiberglass Gaffs feature
special thick-walled, super strong,
yet lightweight E-glass handle
construction, custom-designed for
extreme strength and rigidity. All of
our fiberglass handles are rolled on
proprietary mandrels using specific
tapers developed by AFTCO, and are
fitted in our factory with the same
stainless steel hooks used in our
popular Taper-Tip Aluminum Gaffs.
Our exclusive “wedge-lok” (see page
16) assembly process is used to
secure all of the hooks into the
E-glass handles.
Featuring a rich-looking dark brown
epoxy finish with hand-wrapped black
and metallic gold-and-blue thread trim
wraps, each gaff has a handsome
and extremely functional black nylon
seine cord-wrapped handle with
hand-finished Turk’s heads on each
end of the wrapped grips. Seine cord
and Turk’s heads are finished with
epoxy for durability and extra tackiness
when gripped with wet or slimy hands.
A large rubber “mushroom-style”
butt cap finishes the butt-end
of each handle.
