FIBERGLASS GAFFS |
AFTCO
fiberglass, tapered gaffs feature a special thick-walled, extremely
strong but lightweight e-glass handle construction custom made
for extreme strength and rigidity. All of our fiberglass handles
are made on proprietary mandrels using specific tapers developed
by AFTCO. They are available in 4’, 6’ and 8’ lengths
and have the same 316L or N50 stainless steel hooks used in our
popular Taper-Tip aluminum series of gaffs. Our exclusive “wedge-lok”
assembly process is used to assemble all of the hooks into the e-glass
handles. The new fiberglass gaffs have a rich-looking dark brown
epoxy finish with hand-wrapped black and metallic gold and blue
thread trim wraps. All of the fiberglass series gaffs have handsome
and extremely functional black nylon seine cord wrapped handles
with hand-finished Turk’s heads on each end of the wrapped
grips. All of the 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. The new fiberglass
gaffs are available with 2”, 3” and 4” hooks.
All of the 2”and 3” hooks are 5/16” diameter 316L
stainless steel, and the 4” hooks are all N50 stainless steel.
All of the 6’ and 8’ models float.
There are a total of 12 models of fiberglass gaffs and all of the
6’ and 8’ models will float if dropped overboard. Handles
and grip made in China, all hooks and assembly done in USA of USA
materials. |

NEW FB-2 FISH BAT |
| AFTCO’s
new FB-2 Fish Bat is replacing the old FB-1. The FB-2 is made of super-strong,
molded, glass- filled polypropylene. The new FB-2 is 19 inches long
and 2 _ inches wide with a special triangular shape that will not roll
around on the deck of a rocking boat. The handle has an aggressive,
molded-in, textured grip for non-slip performance with wet or slimy
hands. It is totally waterproof and corrosion proof, will not scratch
or mar decks or gelcoat, and it floats! There is a braided rope safety
lanyard and a special handle hook to allow the fish bat to be hung
from a railing or ladder. It is slightly heavier than our discontinued,
aluminum FB-1 at 1.3 pounds, and it hits very hard! Finally, the best
news of all, is that the price of the new and improved FB-2 is the
same as the old FB-1 and it is available immediately! |
