I got a stainless rod, bent it, and filed a point on it. Getting a sharp point takes some work, but the rest of it is super-simple:

Yup, I've also gone that route, pretty simple if you have a jig or suitable form to bend it around. And a grinder

I often fish close to Mavericks when I go to HMB.
At our neighborhood lake in the Sierras a girl was attacked by otters last week with multiple wounds and had to be rushed to the hospital. Now they have warning signs.

Otters can dicks, river or sea.

If they aren't biting Scott Thornley's boots at Elk, they are clawing kids in the Sierras or biting surfer's boards in Santa Cruz...

thanks guys! the whole goal of this is to just have some fun.

most of the stuff will be priced on the lower end of the spectrum.

There will also be be a nice display of handcrafted soaps, courtesy of "the Laura Lab"

Same here. Everytime time I land on the beach the lookiloos come over and point out the gaff. Mine has seen years of service and has help up as well as the big box gaffs. I highly recommend 👌

that's why you are the marketing model on the ad

I get so many compliments on my Piscean gaff.

You even have a matching harpoon lol

I spool with 30 lb braid and typically run 30-40 lb fluoro leaders purely based on what I have on hand.
Same, 30 lb braid for all of my reels for saltwater. But use 25, 30, 40 top shots and leaders depending on what or where i'm targeting.

same as these guys^

The new owner is picking it up tomorrow...

Proud new owner I would add. It looks great sitting next to its matching sister Revo 16 of the same color. Super stoked to finally have the comfy seat and transducer scupper. Thanks Pat. It was fun chillen too. Hope to fish with ya soon.

awesome. I look forward to seeing it in action!

the curse of the saltwater fishing enthusiast is the feeling leading up to your fishing opener, hoping the weather and ocean cooperate.

Sending you calm sea vibes with low wind!

Once again I’ll be participating in the Bonny Doon open studio event.
This is a free event where 30 artists of all mediums open their artistic spaces to the public.
This year I have some new gaffs, shields, pub signs,…and a bunch of other things.
I’ll post up a link to our official website and map shortly.
Here are a couple of teasers from last year:
