Yea it does and i have a couple little buoys i clip onto the loops for extra buoyancy.

My old gaff was begging for an updo and i had the afternoon off so i decided it was time. i sanded her all down and layed down some primer and black paint. I then wrapped the business end in grey 550 cord and the handle in neon green 550 cord. since the grey and green   is my favorite color combo i figured why not! Im gonna keep my eyes open for a nice piece of hard wood dowel to put a new handle on it but this will work for now. i like the big loop handle cause it gives me a fail safe in case i get something that resembles the great white whale one day 

Yea i do

Im looking to buy a used trident ultra 4.3. Color isnt important but would love camo  :smt00. I live near Fortuna and im willing to travel a little ways to pick it up if the price is right. Rigged or not dosent matter cause thats half the fun is setting them up to your needs. I had a malibu for a while and just didnt like it so i rented the 4.3 and absolutely loved it. You can pm me or reply on this topic THANKS!

Nope cant keep them but i just gotta go to the mad river and catch a few hatchery fish if i want one for the smoker.

I just lost my grandfather a week before thanksgiving to Liver cancer that spread like wildfire. His name was Bud Jones and he was a timber faller his whole life and loved hearing about my hunting and fishing stories since he was a outdoorsman himself. I have a tattoo in his memory and its a Giant redwood on my calf since he always told me about fallin the big wood! May the saw chips always fly papa!
