Is it long enough? How many times have you heard your fishing buddy say that to you out crappie fishing? It seems like every lake we go to has different length limits on their crappie. Unless it’s a haven for monster crappie you got to check them before putting them in the livewell. Like most crappie anglers, you may have more than one rod out with a lure or live bait on. You don’t have time to be messing with measuring a crappie flopping around. Don’t be a hater; just get yourself a Frabill Grip-N-Check fish measurer.

The Frabill Grip-N-Check (www.frabill.com) is a hard plastic fish shaped measuring device that can be install on your boats livewell or anywhere you can easily reach and it’s not just for boats. Anglers sitting on a bucket or fishing stool can attach it to them. No more searching or getting up to measure your crappie to see if it’s a keeper.
