SANLIKE Telescopic Fish Gaff with Stainless Sea Fishing Spear Hook Review
Our verdict
The SANLIKE Telescopic Fish Gaff costs $22.55 and extends to 47.2 inches, matching the reach of the SANLIKE SC-128, but its 3.9-star rating across 256 reviews is the lowest average in this comparison. Still, 100+ bought last month shows it sells steadily, likely on the strength of its fiberglass build and two-piece design.

Anglers who want a 47.2-inch telescopic reach for spearfish at a lower price than the aluminum SANLIKE SC-128, and who do not mind a fiberglass build and a two-piece design instead of a single-piece pole.
Skip if
Skip this if a top-tier star rating matters most, since its 3.9-star average across 256 reviews is the lowest of the four gaffs compared here. Anglers wanting an all-metal build should also look at the SANLIKE SC-128's aluminum and stainless steel construction instead.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Spearfish tend to thrash once they clear the water, and this SANLIKE Telescopic Fish Gaff is built with a stainless sea fishing spear hook to handle that moment, extending out to a 47.2-inch reach that matches its aluminum and stainless steel sibling, the SC-128. Unlike that model, this one is built primarily from fiberglass and ships in two pieces rather than one.
At 9.5 ounces it is the heaviest gaff in this comparison, a bit more than the SANLIKE SC-128's 8.8 ounces and well above the Cyfie models. The black finish and two-piece construction keep the design simple, and the fiberglass body is a lighter-cost alternative to the aluminum and stainless steel builds used elsewhere in this lineup.
Priced at $22.55, it lands close to the SANLIKE SC-128's $21.99, but its 3.9-star rating across 256 reviews is the lowest average of the four gaffs compared here. Even so, 100+ bought last month puts its recent demand ahead of both the SANLIKE SC-78 and the Cyfie 6-Foot model, suggesting the lower rating has not stopped it from selling. That combination of a below-average rating and above-average recent purchase volume makes it worth comparing directly against the SANLIKE SC-128 before deciding.
Pros
- 47.2-inch expansion length matches the reach of the pricier SANLIKE SC-128
- 100+ bought last month, ahead of two of the three other gaffs compared
- Stainless sea fishing spear hook is purpose-built for spearfish
- Two-piece design may pack down smaller than a single-piece pole
- Priced close to the SANLIKE SC-128 at $22.55 versus $21.99
Cons
- 3.9-star rating across 256 reviews is the lowest average in this comparison
- Heaviest gaff here at 9.5 ounces
- Fiberglass build instead of the all-metal aluminum and stainless steel combination used on the SC-128
- Two-piece design means an extra joint compared to single-piece alternatives

Performance notes
A 47.2-inch expansion length puts this gaff on par with the SANLIKE SC-128 for reach, which matters for spearfish that are still moving when you go to land them. The stainless sea fishing spear hook is the working end that actually contacts the fish, while the shaft itself is fiberglass rather than the aluminum used on the SC-128, a substitution that typically trims manufacturing cost but adds a bit of weight, reflected in the 9.5-ounce figure here versus 8.8 ounces on the SC-128. Shipping in two pieces rather than one likely affects how compactly it stores, though it also means one more joint that has to hold up under load. Black is a common finish choice for saltwater gear since it hides scuffing better than lighter colors over repeated use.
What buyers say
At 3.9 stars across 256 reviews, this gaff carries the lowest rating average among the four compared here, a meaningful gap below the 4.5-star marks on the Cyfie TP-HYL-0156-a and the SANLIKE SC-128. Yet 100+ bought last month is a solid recent-demand figure, ahead of the SANLIKE SC-78's 0+ and the Cyfie 6-Foot model's 50+. That split, a lower rating paired with steady purchase volume, suggests buyers may be drawn in by the price and reach despite some dissatisfaction reflected in the rating. It is worth reading the lower average alongside the higher sales figure rather than looking at either number alone.

Frequently asked questions
How far does this SANLIKE gaff reach?
It has a stated expansion length of 47.2 inches, the same reach listed for the SANLIKE SC-128, giving enough standoff distance to handle spearfish before they come alongside the boat. The two-piece design still reaches that full length once assembled.
What is the gaff made of?
The listing states fiberglass as the primary material, with a stainless sea fishing spear hook as the working end. That differs from the SANLIKE SC-128, which uses an aluminum and stainless steel combination throughout its single-piece frame rather than the two-piece fiberglass build used here.
Why is the rating lower than similar SANLIKE gaffs?
At 3.9 stars across 256 reviews, it sits below the 4.5-star average of the SANLIKE SC-128. The available data does not detail specific complaints, only that the rating average is lower despite 100+ units bought last month at this price.
