Overview

Built for quick, readable length checks on the water, this ruler gives anglers a practical way to measure fish before release or retention. The upward-facing fish stop helps position the fish consistently, while the high-contrast face and 1/4-inch markings make the measurement easy to read at a glance. Anodized aluminum construction and laser-etched markings are intended for repeated use, and the ruler can be mounted or tethered depending on how you want it set up on the boat.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • The 2" width is listed for the 18" model, so fit and layout may vary by size.
  • It can be mounted or tethered, but the mounting approach depends on whether your setup accepts most deck mounts.
  • The ruler is designed for quick fish-length reading; it does not provide additional measurement features beyond that use.
