[@renoyoung126]

How to know what color to run to catch ahi

[@onlyfishhi]

Snap swivel, terminal tackle and tying knots with big mono!

[@RAHfishing]

[@kfuj25]

[@edy8631]

Thank you for putting this video out. Going to make my kayak gaff like this...only a little shorter. Glitter 100%.

[@RAHfishing]

Definitely glitter 😂🤣😂

[@Kauaiboy13]

That was an awesome video Nick! I like learning new things and as many fishermen I take pride in my work and the time it takes to dial it all in. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Mahalo!

[@Kauaiboy13]

By the way...I have a pretty big collection of lures but have yet to own one of yours, how would someone on Kauai get ahold of one?

[@wesmoody8366]

Just wanted to say thanks for this video - I made one this afternoon and it was super easy following your directions - 🤙🏻 - thank you!

[@art51777]

I just Became a Subscriber on your last Live Video, fishing for bait working on Ahi catching sharks 👍🏽. Great Fishing Videos and Tips! Going to make a me one. 🎣 🤙🏽

[@reeloutdoors9421]

If you put the epoxy in a small paint pan it will not get hot and you will have much longer working time... awesome video!!!

[@hawaiianislandculturemore5635]

Sick! Mines one never comes out like that lol. Didn't know how to do that tie. Awesome video!

[@RAHfishing]

Thanks. The first ones weren't that nice lol

[@drizzle_8327]

Bra mean video mahalo for sharing🤙

[@RAHfishing]

Thanks

[@sunsetman9192]

I will be making me one real soon.

[@frankenwulf4394]

Awesome video my friend! I wasn't about to pay 150$ for a decent gaff. Much rather make one like that for much less money. Not to mention the bonus of taking pride in making your own custom gear!

[@RAHfishing]

Right on. Glad I could help

[@heathermoore621]

My dad just bought a boat and this would be a hell of a gift..thanks for the instructional. Awesome video

[@RAHfishing]

Awesome. Plus it will be more meaningful if you make it.

[@Olamonz808]

Nice lure head

[@RAHfishing]

Thanks

[@kolohelau1185]

I know this kinda old but you Always solid content 🤙

[@RAHfishing]

Much appreciated. Thanks 🤙

[@kevinnakai5953]

You should do a video on the top 3 knots all fishermen should know

[@ledgehuntah8088]

Sweet kine gaff. Low budget. My speed. Thanks.

[@RAHfishing]

Thanks

[@davidharris8797]

Cool

[@RobMadrigal]

Made mine today! Just gotta order the epoxy since it's hard to find in Hilo. 🤙

[@RAHfishing]

Nice

[@kalekwon8362]

Thats some good stuff man. Im sure it would be okay to paint it first if i wanted a little more color?

[@RAHfishing]

Yes 100%. I would just make sure that the paint wouldn't react with the epoxy.

[@recoilrob4765]

Hey thanks for this. What's the diameter of the wood rod from Lowes? Is it poplar, maple or oak?

[@blindabinda1234]

When you do your pull through,pull the loop until it gets to the grip then stop and cut the tag 1/2" long and when you pull it through our stays burried under the wrap.

[@RAHfishing]

Great tip. Thanks 🤙

[@ridah8086]

If I made this gaff this gaff longer would it still work for lifting uluas up ledges by the cliffs?

[@tracynshea1333]

Great video, just cut a ton of bamboo from our dock and wanna use it for something constructive.

[@dlvmark]

Mahalo

[@landonarita6327]

Do you know the name of epoxy you use from fiber glass Hawai’i?

[@patrickkelly8095]

Do you see any reason not to cut a groove to fit the shaft into so i t sits flush or near flush?

[@bajadan2769]

I think that's a great idea - keeps it from moving side to side - solid

[@Freedakillaz]

Uncle for the Apoxsee do you mix them together because I’m confused about it I got the gaff head

[@RAHfishing]

Yes its a 2 part mix 🤙

[@mubshirshah6061]

What size gaff hook do you recommend?

[@lonelydriver82]

What epoxy are you using? Mine dried so fast and made it hard, yours look more watery

[@RAHfishing]

Could be a couple of things. Epoxy was old, ricing ratio wasn’t correct, it’s a fast set epoxy.

[@johnnorris1227]

Being as they aren't stainless and just duratin coated how well do those mustad gaff hooks hold up in saltwater???

[@RAHfishing]

Very good. No issues as of yet.

[@surfboardshack3327]

Where can you buy the gaff head on Oahu?

[@RAHfishing]

You can find them pretty much everywhere. Pop, J&E Fishing supply, Roy's, West Marine, and a bunch more. 🤙

[@SF-pc4qz]

Nick, any place locally you can buy the gaff head?

[@RAHfishing]

POP has them in stock

[@SF-pc4qz]

@@RAHfishing thanks Nick! My son and I love watching your videos every Sunday! Keep it coming. BTW I looked through your previous videos but didn’t find any that shows you how to set up your poles to troll (I.e. what type of lure to use, how far back, speed, color, etc?) if you don’t have one can you make one? We have tried trolling and have not caught anything yet, not even a nibble. Lol. Any help would be appreciated! Side note, I am hopping we can get one of your 100% when you release this Friday. If we can’t catch with that, I know it is us. 😬😭

[@stevenhalama2043]

What size hook is that?

[@briha3142]

Bruddah you shoulda autographed dat gaff before put em epoxy on! It be ‘Nick Morris Custom’ kine! Sweeeet, eh!?!

[@RAHfishing]

😂🤣😂 thanks. Going to be making a new set of gaffs very shortly. I will make and updated video on it for sure. 🤙

[@patrickkelly8095]

What kind of string was that? Was that rigging string?

[@RAHfishing]

Small nylon cord

[@sebatt861]

What size Gaff hook is that? 4/0? 5/0?

[@RAHfishing]

I use the 4/0

[@alexisk4407]

Everyone who watches this is gonna get a lot of youtube recommendations for how to make a Gaff for tucking in a bikini after watching this loool

[@RAHfishing]

Yeah I was searching How to make a Gaff and it was a bunch of gay stuff lol

[@BillyBob-et7bw]
