Spruced up my old gaff!

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 

Nice job and it looks great!

Thanks! its amazing what an hour will do to make something look better than new. I have a nice piece of aluminum tubing that is gonna be the next project for a new eye straightener

Will it float?

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