I personally like a 1 1/4" dowel pole approx 8' long with a stainless lag bolt gig. i have NEVER had a fish come off of a lag bolt gig. i have a few gigs that have an alluiminum pole and they seem much heavier then the dowel pole. just curious as to what everyone else prefers. i tried to make sure i covered all the bases with the answers but if i missed something just post it!

All I have ever used are stainless 5 pronged ones with barbs, and 10' bamboo poles that we manufacture and sell ourselves. Some of you guys who have never tried one of our bamboo ones should take a look one day, you might like them. They are nothing like the cheap, chinese ones that are dyed red that you see at Wal-Mart sometimes. They are extremely durable and will last for years.

I really like the five prong B&M gig head and a bamboo pole. it seems to really get them and hasn't broken yet.

| I made this one for this season. I only used it wading this year so it's a short poll but I'm going to make the head detachable so I can swap it between the short poll and a long poll. Its 5/16 stainless all thread with 1/2" aluminum flat stock and 1 1/4" aluminum poll. It's much lighter the any of my bamboo polls I've used and I couldn't even shake the fish off of the all thread.

Thats a nice looking gig head. Nice weld job.
