Yes! The handle's wrapped design with black nylon seine cord, complemented by the epoxy-coated Turk's heads, offer excellent grip even when handling with wet or slimy hands, thereby minimizing the risk of slippage.
Do the 6-foot and 8-foot models float?
Indeed, both the 6-foot and 8-foot versions of the AFTCO Fiberglass Gaff 46 are built to float, which is a crucial safety feature should the gaff be accidentally dropped overboard during fishing activities.
