Gee, that is a pretty gaff. However, for you more pragmatic fisherman (from a former commercial guy) Use a oak staff, Take the right angled 1/2" point and take a hammer and nail it into the shaft (as it was designed) and wrap it with wire or heavy line. If you need one fast for a temporary fix you can use duct tape to hold it in place. Even this temporary fix will work on a gaff to lift about 1000 -2000 lbs of cod depending on the number of duct tape wraps you make!
Good Fishing, Lobsterman
