I use a Skinny Water stick the same as the tourney stick.
BUT, It does not matter.
The tourney stick rules.

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.

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.

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.

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.
