Rodhouse fish measuring ruler, flexible 140 cm gauge

The Rodhouse verdict

A flexible measuring ruler that rolls up small enough to slip into a vest pocket is exactly what makes the difference in a kayak or a float tube. The acrylic plate acts as a stop to rest the fish's nose against, so the measurement stays accurate despite the soft mat. To measure a predator cleanly before releasing it, nothing is simpler or more compact.

Compact once rolled up, reliable when it matters

Accurate measuring for catch and release and regulations

Measuring a catch is never trivial: legal size limits, harvest slots, validating a personal best or a competition score, every centimetre counts. Just wet the mat, rest the fish's nose against the acrylic stop and read the graduation at the tail. The reading in decimetres stays clear even when the fish moves, which avoids mistakes when releasing a fish close to the legal limit. It quickly joins the family of fishing accessories you always keep within reach, from the spring zander to the big autumn pike.

Made for the kayak, the float tube and the boat

The real strength of a flexible ruler is how little space it takes. Once rolled up and closed with its velcro strap, it slips into a bag, a kayak hatch or a vest pocket without getting in the way of the rest of your gear. The PVC mat wipes clean with a rinse and preserves the fish's slime coat for a release in the best possible conditions. Its 140 cm take a big pike without folding it, and the ruler stows away with the rest of your boat accessories.
