fishing gaff
A fishing gaff is an essential tool used by anglers in India for landing large fish species commonly found in Indian waters. This traditional fishing equipment consists of a long pole with a sharp metal hook at the end, designed to securely grip and lift heavy fish from the water.In coastal regions of India like Kerala, Goa, and West Bengal, local manufacturers produce fishing gaffs using durable materials such as bamboo or fiberglass for the handle and stainless steel for the hook. These locally made gaffs are specifically designed to handle Indian fish species including rohu, katla, pomfret, and various sea bass varieties.
Traditional Indian fishing gaffs often feature handcrafted elements and are built to withstand the challenging marine conditions of the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal. Many local artisans incorporate traditional designs and patterns into the handle, making these tools both functional and culturally significant.
