Home-made flounder gig.
The guy gigging our flounder had a home made gig that I was impressed with. The business end consisted of two lengths of all-thread that he had ground into points. The advantage of all-thread is that you don’t have to reach under the flounder to pick it up. You can actually lift them straight out of the water because they stick to the threads. I saw it in action and it did work as advertised, however, the guy did admit that one had come off.
He also shaped a piece of tubing into a really nice lantern handle. I think a good handle would reduce fatigue on a long gigging session.

The all-thread seems like it would be fairly reliable, not as good as a barb though, is there some reason we don't have barbed gigs?
More detail on the curved tube, lantern handle please.
Steve, there is nothing in the guide book that says you can't use a barbed gig on non game fish (flounder) but I think it would be very difficult and time consuming to use a barbed gig when your hands are already full if your walking. the allthread is great from a boat.
I have the same opinion with most of your points, however some need to be discussed further, I will hold a small talk with my buddies and perhaps I will look for you some advice shortly.
