{"product_id":"crono-short-gaff-580","title":"Crono Short Gaff 580 (5.8 m Telescopic Squid Gaff)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrono call it a “short” gaff because it collapses to \u003cstrong\u003e39 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e — extended it is \u003cstrong\u003e5.8 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e. That combination is the entire point: it lives clipped to a bag or belt, and it still reaches the water from the high breakwalls and rock ledges where a landing net on a short handle is useless. Crono built the 580 after anglers told them the 400 couldn't reach the surface at their marks. Everything except the length is identical to the 400, so if you already own one there is nothing new to learn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lx-tech\"\u003e\n  \u003cfigure\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/2539\/6500\/files\/shortgaff-580_hook.jpg?width=600\" alt=\"Crono Short Gaff 580 six-point wide hook head\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n    \u003cfigcaption\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"lx-tech__name\"\u003eSix wide hook points\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"lx-tech__body\"\u003eSharpened so the squid's own weight drives them home — you lift the points into it rather than striking.
