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!

extenable fish measures

#1 Post by beachbuddy »

Just wondering what makes and models of fish measures are out there at the moment.Looking for something ideally foldable or extenable and fits into a seatbox.I've seen the longer iangolds measure is it foldable?
Before someone suggests it i've had more tape measures than bob the builder but keep losing them,need something shiny and fancy 8)

its a real pity that rapala one isint 50 x 2 - so many dogs are around the 60 mark and a quiet comps the bigger of the 2 measured dogs could swing it

Another option I have seen is to just use the solid longer measure but carry it strapped/bolted/clipped to your rod rest :idea:
It's all about the fishing
