Re: Measuring sticks
I use a Skinny Water stick the same as the tourney stick.
BUT, It does not matter.

Re: Measuring sticks
Yes and your stick is wide I can make a 20 1/2 incher fit on yours not the way Skinny Water is Built for the Tourney.

Re: Measuring sticks
moving the fish at an angle on mine will make it measure shorter but i measure everyone right in the middle of the stick though.

Re: Measuring sticks
Everybody's using the same stick so it shouldn't be an issue. Just check yours against the weigh in stick and everything will be fine.

Re: Measuring sticks
ya'll did fine with the stick Ashely. I do think it makes fish a bit longer when you put them at the 45. I also think the laser cut SWP products sticks may take a 1/16-1/32" away from the rulers with lines. Same for everyone though, and I didn't see a bad call. Nice work.
