Hey guys, setting up new boat 5.8 fibreglas cuddy, what do you recommend for gaffs and net. In shore and off shore.

I use the largest size environet for most things from squid to stop the ink to tuna if I want to release them. I also have a fixed gaff for medium size keepers & a flying gaff for makos. Don't know how you will set up your boat but I have Velcro straps that hold everything to the rocket launchers uprights

Great idea, don't have the rocket launchers but the bimini struts will now have another use.
Thanks
Dave

If u after a recommendation on a brand, then Gaffman is top quality gear. can also get a net with an unscrewing head where u can put a gaff hook on. Great idea if your on a budget or short of space in the boat.

Cheers
Tim

I'm on my third enviro net because my boats a walk around when I wash it at home I through things up the side. Twice I have forgotten to put them back before heading to the ramp on the next trip & it blows out. Once it had the removable back door inside it & it buggered off too but gives me an excuse to go back to the fishing shop.
