daiwa 0 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Word of warning to fisho's using fish measuring stickers, i purchased a boat a couple of weeks ago and just by luck, i put a ruler to the sticker and got measurements 5mm short on each increment, i do say that these were old stickers as well but i guess that wouldn't bother fisheries when they throw the book at you... I went to bunning and now have a stainless steel ruler siliconed to the side of the boat... Im guessing the stickers shrink so just be very cautious...Cheers statesquider and Rickster 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Willy 3 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Yep, having spoke to fisheries guys a few times the metal rulers are the best things to use as they don't shrink and are also what fisheries use to measure your fish.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
