Title: GOLDEN RULER OR PRO RULE
Post by: huston on January 24, 2011, 09:14:42 AM
Which is acceptable for the DK opener, where can you purchase one and @ what price? BPS online is out of stock for the Golden ruler. That Pro rule is mountable and adjustable.

What's the deal with them being out of stock?  Wasn't that the same problem guys had last spring????  I've got mine.  Didn't get to use it too much at last Spring's DK Open.  :(  Well we did use it, but not on very big fish.  It's got to be better this year, right???   :-\'

Golden Rule.  Good for not just the DK open, but also other paper tourneys early in the year held by others.

I learned a trick from Rev. Tom, and Mark Hill.   If you drill a couple of holes in the ruler, you can attach some snaps to it.  You can purchase these snaps from your local hardware. 

With small screws attach one side of the snap to a location on your boat, (floor, deck), and the other side of the snap to the ruler. 

The ruler can then be moved anywhere you want when in use, and is stored in a way that it won't blow around when not.

I just learned on the way to the Novi show that they guy that runs the little Thursday night deal I fish bought 20 of them last spring for a paper tournament he was having.  I'll try to talk him into signing up and coming, but if not, at least letting me use the boards.  Every year there are people who don't have the boards (including me).

Has to be the Golden Rule Weighmaster Largemouth Bass to get the correct 1/8" increments for length to weight use. I don't know that I can get any this year, but we have an early start so there's time.

I have some stuff yeah  :D, but relatively speaking, I don't have much.  Go to one of our tour events and make up some wild crazy bait name in some wild crazy color that you know never existed and ask some of the guys if they have any.  They will go to their truck, get out the tubs and tubs and tubs of stuff and find 12 of them for you. :o  They have stuff.
