With the proper tools and a robust shop-made jig, creating a set of gaff jaws is a straightforward project.
Having your curved gaff jaw fail while underway can be a nettlesome experience, and it is made more so if you don’t have a spare to remedy the situation. These pieces are not mass-produced, so they must be custom made. Luckily, they are easy to fashion if you have the proper stock and purpose-built tools.
