Measuring board??

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Measuring board??

#1 Post by Bradan »

Anyone know where to get hold of a good one? I'm looking to buy a good number for a fishing club (freshwater, but same principle applies), up to 50/60cm, for trout.
Do any online tackle suppliers do them?? Or any tackle shops?
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

I have the Ian Golds measure and it seems to be the standard. However its a bit on the long side and is a bugger to fit in a full Shakespeare Beta box. I spotted a Rapala folding measure in the local tackle shop in Cork. It's half the size for around the 10 euro mark. It would be the one I'd go for if I had a choice again. I'm sure you'll find them online somewhere.

Keep an eye on ebay, you get them there fairly often although they are usually sold in singles. :shock:

Give the codfather of L&G tackle (graham) a pm, I'm sure he could get them in the numbers you are looking and he's very easy to pay also. :wink: He's one of the good guys.. If he can't supply them he will surely know where you will get them. :wink: :wink:

(Resurrecting an older post here... :roll:)

Has anyone come across the Rapala foldable measure recently in any local (i.e. Irish) tackle shops, mail order or otherwise :?:

Despite recent searches on the net, ebay, mail order stores, etc. I haven't come across 'em. :?
