The Karatsu-style gaff hook has longer claws than the Jina-cho type, making it easier to insert, and the handle is shaped to be suitable for reaching out to hang something in the back and pulling it toward you. The shape is the result of many years of trial and error between the creator and the user. The stainless steel claw type is popular in the aquaculture industry, which mainly works at sea.

Although the handle is made of durable natural wood, it may break depending on usage and age. please note that.
