Crochet attaché à l'extrémité d'une baguette ou d'une perche et destiné à sortir un poisson de l'eau ou à le transpercer en n'importe quelle partie du corps.

CONT

La gaffe est un outil très utile qui permet de manipuler en toute sécurité les brochets [...] de grande taille. [...] La bonne façon de l'utiliser est de l'insérer dans la bouche du poisson et de l'enfoncer à travers l'une des fines membranes qui se trouvent de chaque côté de la langue.
