I like the handle on your gaff. It shows you're secure in your manhood...because most guys wouldn't choose to wield a pink-handled gaff.... :smt006

been a couple places looking but I none had a game clip.. any heads up on where to get those?   Also I have not seen those plastic floating grippers anywhere.  Most places seem to have the one that looks kind of like a gaff handle... different prices but $79 at outdoor proshop seemed a bit steep.

Dive shops usually have the clips. I got both from Hook1. The lip grippers are really hard to find locally. I am sure even harder in Windsor. Use the code hook108 and get 10% off

I got my game clip at a local dive shop.  The floating fish gripper is available mostly on line.  Cabela's has them:

Actually I am going to get the game clip from hook 1 but I was not able to find the lip gripper on their site.    Getting a few bungie accessories and maybe an anchor there as well.     Ive got so much stuff to buy if I want to safely get on the ocean that Im sort of queing it up and trying to get the most important first.    Drawing HEAVILY on my WAF account.    :smt003
