Thanks Silky.

 

Tri-edged gaffs had the habit of cutting and running at acute angles, particularly out on laterals, it's my belief it's caused by one of the three edges initiating a tear that follows the wood grain, at that particular angle.

 

These round gaffs pierce n set better in the wood regardless of angle, and with far less stepping force, particularly in dead wood, IME.

 

Munchkins like me only need a 3/8ths inner needle to set n hold well. But bigger blokes over the 200 lb weight n up? May need a 7/16's inner needle to support their weight without breaking,
