riplips.tc Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Hello all, new to SU, kinda new-ish to big baits. What kinds measuring boards do you recommend? I was looking at the Rapala retractable ruler but was unsure about soft boards on uneven surfaces. Any tips appreciated and sorry if this was already posted somewhere!

willsochill Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Get a big bass measuring board. The travel ones are legit. Just try tinting a flat surface when you roll them out on shore. I have even moved stones and dirt around to make them hold fish. Definitely the best bag for your buck. riplips.tc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevro1et Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 If you're shore banging (like myself and a lot of others) the soft roll-up measuring mats are the way to go. But definitely make sure that you choose one of the 9" wide ones such as the WCZ or another brand that makes the wide ones. They are easier to read and look better in photos, whether it is for tournament purposes, social media, or just for yourself.

swimb8bassin512 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 (edited) I mainly use the Working class zero roll up board when I’m bank fishing. every now and then I’ll carry my Ketch karbonite board instead, if I know I’m going to be on a lot of uneven surfaces or the rock dams I normally fish. I’ll use either my Ketch X board or the ketch karbonite board in the yak or Jon boat. Edited February 9 by swimb8bassin512 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerlounge Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Ketch board when I'm on the boat or kayak and a Yunique Baits or WCZ roll up when I am shore banging. kookfarmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainMan83 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Just picked up my first board. It’s a Bottom Up that’s on sale at hook up for $25. Very nice and one of the cheapest options I found. chevro1et 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
