Rusler’s Wooden LIP Gaff is a lightweight, precision fishing tool designed for a specific, delicate operation.

This operation is a precise, gentle, accurate, capture procedure for the purpose of either keeping or releasing your catch..

A LIP gaff is not a robust, heavy duty killing machine causing slaughter and mayhem while your catch is still thrashing and fighting for survival to avoid capture .. Rusler has definitive gaffs for that purpose!!

Rather, your LIP gaff is for gently bringing your subdued catch on board incurring minimal damage (small hole under the bottom lip) using a specific capture technic.….Ensure the fish is completely tired & exhausted ( hopefully through an epic battle !!) then carefully Gaff the fish under the bottom lip. Always hold your LIP Gaff in the vertical position when lifting your catch on board thereby spreading the weight to the 6mm gaff head…

If your Wooden Gaff shows signs of wear & tear you may invigorate the timber with a few coatings of vegetable oil.

Another quality RUSLER product of distinction.

Interesting Footnote…The Rusler Wooden Lip gaffs are turned from US Maple by an Amish Artisan Woodturner in Tennessee. No Phones. No Email. No Electricity – Horse & Buggy – the whole nine yards !! It’s a logistical nightmare in procurement but the end result, with the famous Rusler quality finish, and treated to enhance the natural grain lustre, is a stunningly beautiful piece of kit well worth the effort…We think you’ll agree..
