So Sasquatch hooked me up with some sweet bamboo he found at work to make a new gaff.

The stalks are kind of straight, but have some weird bends.  In any case, that will make them much more unique!

I'll start wrapping them this week.  My wrapping skills are very limited, but it should look pretty killer!

Thanks Chad!

Not the prettiest wrap, but really strong and effective!

Only got out once with them so far and couldn't find a yellow to save my life that day.  I'll be sure to take a picture of the kill shot as long as I don't have some type of equipment failure.  LOL

Now only if this wind would f@cking go away I could get out there more.
