Not 100% bream related, but thought this was a great idea.

See pic below.

They look good Bear any idea what they retail for ?

Could make you own and make the spacings smaller so all the fish you catch are HUGE when others look :p

Not sure LCF.

I'll see what I can find out.

Exactly what I was thinking :-)
Are those numbers in millimetres?

[LakeConjolaFish]

I reckon for catch and relese flathead they would be the ants pants.
Heaps better than using the fisheries supplied one thats 1 1/2 inches wide.

Get yourself a meter length of the widest plastic drainpipe you can find, cut it in half lengthways then put one end on it (make it out of anything you want, perspex is nice;))

Get the fisheries tape, remove the clear plastic bit, then glue it inside the pipe, with the '0' against the end.

When you get a fish, just lay it in the pipe and slide it towards the end, the shape stops them moving around, keeps them comfortable and they lay flat - it also seems to calm them a bit.

You then have yourself an easy area to remove the hook etc.

When you're done you just slide the fish over the side of the boat and away she goes (or into the livewell;))

Yea fish always looks smaller in photos. This could fix the injustice!

I can't claim ownership Jim, it was explained to me by Neil Ryan, and he showed me the model he built - his is pretty big, I reckon it would fit a decent Kingie in it:D

Good one Dave,
plumbing supply shops all over Australia will shortly be experiencing a surge of demand as we build our "super rulers" :-)
