 We had the honor of winning a Stingerz Gaff from their instagram giveaway and it's never let us down! It is top quality material with beautiful detailed craftsmanship, truly one of a kind, and most of all it's sharp and sturdy. It even floats! We have used it to harvest everything from mahi to giant bluefin tuna, and have since added a second Stingerz gaff  to our arsenal! Couldn't be happier with them.

My husband has been wanting a Stingerz gaff forever so I reached out to have a custom made gaff for Fathers Day. I was immediately contacted back, went over some details that I wanted to include in this gaff and received it within a few weeks! Customer service has been amazing! they are super responsive, down to earth, friendly and have answered any questions I've had. The gaff arrived and my husband is beyond ecstatic! It turned out even more beautifully than I imagined - they really hit the nail on the head with the design and it's super sturdy with a razor sharp hook! You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for all your help & hard work! We'll be back for more.

Stingerz Custom Gaffs, aka "Tool of the trade" is the best option. Whether it's small yellowtail or super cows Stingerz has the best options to successfully gaff/land your fish. I commercial fish for a living and have caught hundreds of fish over the 160lb mark and have never broken a gaff or complaint about them. Go get em!

- Joshua Tucker, Southern California

We have a family friend who always takes us out fishing in the most badass locations from remote islands in the Bahamas and recently down in world-renowned fishing in Costa Rica. Getting a gift to show your appreciation for those friends is hard to do and even harder to find something unique that they will cherish. The gaff turned out to be a perfect gift and had our friend smiling ear to ear when he unwrapped it. He immediately mentioned placing it over his mantle because it is truly a work of art and was more of a trophy for the long term (if you look at the description, "Super Grand Slam" baby!). The quality of the gaff is hands down the best in the business; we're looking forward to breaking it in on some big tunas before it makes its way to the mantle.

Much appreciation goes out to Manny for satisfying my very specific requests on the exact font, layout, length of sections and accommodating stickers before coating. I couldn't be more happy with the product and made me want a replica of my own once we unboxed it. Will definitely be putting in my next order soon. Thank You to the whole crew at Stingerz Gaffs for making this happen!!

- Michael C., Stateboro Georgia

The people at Stingerz were amazing to work with. They were able to fill my order so close to the holiday even though they were incredibly busy. The whole process was so easy. The actual product itself was just AMAZING. Besides it being a quality gaff it is awesome to look at it. The colors and details make it a piece of art. Not to mention how they personalized it. It was by far one of my husbands favorite gifts.

Just wanted to say that the vision I had for this gaff came more to life than I could ever had envisioned. Talking with you for days on end and creating a relationship is what created this masterpiece. i had little to no knowledge until you guys came along. I'm a young avid captain and always wanted my own custom gaff cause nobody had ever had one. Couldn't have asked for a better man and team to make this come to life. Thank You guys so much. 10/10 much love all the way over here in Miami Beach.

Sincerely,  -Logan Pathman, Miami Beach, Florida

"Quality is quality, my custom gaff was meticulously designed and crafted to my specifications, for an industry that is absolutely brutal on gear. Big or small fish, rain or shine, I expect every tool to perform perfectly. The epoxy coat gives plenty of flex and strength, eliminating permanent bowing and maximizing the strength of the bamboo backbone of the gaff. Longevity and clean craftsmanship is most important to me, the badass personalized coloring/features are just major style points."

-Capt. Pono Chow, Homer Alaska

 "This is a good quality and sharp looking gaff! The rope grip wrap on this gaff is impecable, you can get a solid grip on the rope. It's comforting knowing your hand grips completely around the gaff. Even with hands covered in slime or scales the rope material that is used allows you to have a no slip grip. the workmanship, quality and style of these gaffs is exquisite. It's just an excellent product and i plan on purchasing more and even as gifts for my buddies since they're all done in custom to fit each persons."

 "I contacted Stingerz Custom Gaffs because I was looking for a gaff that i could have custom build to my specifications with the highest quality components available.

I had a very good experience throughout the whole process from start to finish. Anyone looking to build their own customizable gaff I would highly recommend calling Stingerz Custom Gaffs."

-Tam Nguyen,  Team Hot Pot Fishing,  Milpitas, Ca.

 "Stingerz Custom Gaffs caught my eyes on Instagram. They were very impressive and after seeing all the pictures/videos and orders, I had to get mine. Ive been fishing for over 40 yrs. and in that time i have used several different gaffs. Spoke with Manny at Stingerz and had a great conversation and explained what I wanted including colors, and hook and placed my order. After receiving my gaff I couldn't have been happier with the look, feel and craftsmanship. Three days later had it on the water in San Francisco Bay gaffing halibut without a miss. Needless to say the performance was outstanding. I fish the SF bay on a regular basis and everyone that sees it loves, it's definitely a beautiful piece of working art. Would highly recommend purchasing one. Thank You Stingerz."

 "Stingerz Gaffs are awesome!!! Manny was in touch every step of the way and helped with design and sizing the gaff. We decided to go with a W 4 inch for tuna at 7 foot to fit my gunnel perfect. lightweight and easy to work. My son Jack, is able to hit the fish head on target and get the fish in the boat easily. Looking forward to the next one!!!"

-David,  Critter Catcher Fishing, New York

"Manny from Stingerz is the best. Not only is the gaff top notch quality, Manny himself makes sure you have an awesome customer experience.

"I received my very first Stingerz Custom Gaff in September 2019, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out! Having ordered the very first colored Winthrop hook, I am so glad I did! This gaff is not only as solid as advertised, but it is truly a work of art. I will be ordering all of my gaffs from Stingerz Custom Gaffs as long as they will build them for me! Thiglife is truly tricked out now!"

Stingerz Custom gaffs are by far the best functioning and coolest looking custom gaffs on the market.the natural flex of the bamboo core with it's high quality epoxy finish combined with the strongest & sharpest hooks make for dependability when we're boarding big fish far offshore. I love the custom art they prepared for me and my crew on LALOOLI and we're stoked to get on board TEAM STINGERZ CUSTOM GAFFS.
