Looking for culling system

[bassman40]

Looking to buy a culling marking system. Not sure what makes or models are out there or where to get it but figure i better get organized.
I kinda like the colored, floaty ones I see on the FLW tour series shown on WFN channel. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

thanks,

Hi Bassman,

I have the "Glory Bags" culling system. they are 6 differently colored bags with zippers that keep the fish calm in the live well. they are excellent! the fish tend to not spit up when in the bags and they are still lively after a day in the well. We haven't lost a fish yet using the bags and they make handling the fish at the end of the day really easy.

Ed at Paddletales carries them. He can tell you more about them.

We had trouble with the lip clip systems coming off of the fish when they thrash around the live well.

Haven't used the Glory bags but they look interesting. I use the 'safety pin' clips with the color floating balls.

Regardless of the system you have, don't bother with a weigh scale. Get a balance beam in order to perform the cull. This is more accurate than any weigh scale out there. Once the fish is clipped, you can simply put 2 fish on the blancing beam and it is as clear as day which fish is bigger (simply physics). Sure the weigh scales gives you the weigh of the fish but you could still be off by an oz or two due to inaccurate scales, wind, waves, fish trashing, etc.

Feel free to read this article (Not plugging this brand but any means).

Cheers,

Mike

Ardent Outdoors makes a system using floating balls that have built-in weight displays. You simply dial in the weight of each fish and you can then read the weights just by looking at the tops of the floats without disturbing the fish.
