Description

Marsh Tacky Carbon’s Tournament Kingfish Gaffs are proven tournament winners!

After hearing repeatedly about the need for lighter long-reach gaffs for tournament class king mackerel, we redesigned our two-piece gaffs to eliminate the heavy coupler system and instead use a semi-permanent attachment system with our new titanium alloy hooks. The result? A gaff that’s 60% lighter! Nothing else comes close. These gaffs in 11ft 11in format have been said to inspire tournament rule changes (to 10ft gaff restrictions) in a matter of just one season. (“10” rather than “12” is now an option for you here as a result!)

These gaffs are lightning quick and sharp with our aggressive grip systems from our T Series gaffs to give you maximum control of bigger fish and farther away from the boat. The 12’s length is 11ft 11in to be tournament legal, and the 10’s length is 9’9″ to satisfy tournaments or series with the 10ft restriction.

When broken down into two pieces, these gaffs are right at 6ft,

and they float

and they have a lifetime warranty.

 

Nothing else is anywhere close.

Here’s the all-important hook info:

  • T1 size
    • hook has 1.5″ gap and 2.5″ penetration depth
    • lightest and quickest design for highly accurate response and hook placement
    • designed for up to 60lb king mackerel
  • T1.5 size
    • NEW size for 2023, larger than the T1, but lighter and more compact than the T2 to still get into the gristle of a big king mackerel without costing you the ounces of blood that could drop you off the leader board
    • hook has 1.9″ gap and 2.8″ penetration depth
    • lightest and quickest design for highly accurate response and hook placement
    • designed for ANY king mackerel
