Hello from Hazard!
We had several of our readers know what Item No. 1246 is. Randy Winland, of Prospect, Ohio, said it is a frog gigger. The metal part is connected to a long wooden pole similar to a broom handle. The opened jaws are put around a frog and the center button depressed when it hits the frog’s back resulting in the spring action jaws clamping shut trapping the frog, Randy said.
Bill Myatt said it is a mechanical fish gig mostly used for ice fishing for pike.
Larry Anderson, of Youngstown, adds it is a musky clamp. He said it is for fishing a large musky. He also adds it is illegal to use one.
Keith Greathouse, of Uniontown, Ohio, submitted Item No. 1246. The jaws open up and clamp down when contact is made.
David, of Jamestown, Pennsylvania, said Item No. 1246 is a spring-loaded
fish gaff for frogs or fish.
