Rapala Retractable Ruler 60", Compact and Durable Measuring Tool for Anglers, Convenient Folding Design with Easy-to-Read Markings for Accurate Fish Measurements

Great fishing ruler that retracts into a small package for storage without metal components to rust. Ruler stays open well until the operator pulls to retract. Great product.

MY, MY, MY what they WON'T come up with next, huh?? Zip it out, measure your catch, flick the button on the side, and it zips nicely away! No need to tote around a 54" piece of YELLOW PLASTIC BOARD that cost THIRTY BUCKS to ensure your catch is LEGAL! Just be sure to wipe away the fish slime or EVERYONE will know that you weren't ACTUALLY at work for the day! (Ask me how I know, right!?!?? We've all done it so let's not kid ourselves). You'll probably NOT pass this down as a family heirloom but for the period time that it does work and perform? Hey! It's a fun thing to play with while you're out fishing. IF and WHEN it finally breaks, just get another one. (With all the AMAZON warehouses going up in EVERY community nowadays...they'll still be available). Item arrived QUICKLY and just as advertised. No complaints. FIVE STARS!

Awesome well made tape. Nice thick plastic and good locking mechanism. Have used this for 4 seasons now not being careful with it and no issues at all. Been to the bottom of the river, in sand, snow, mud, and covered in fish slime many times, always works fine.

⁃ I purchased this item due to the large numbers printed on the ruler and the ruler’s non-reflective surface. ⁃ I sell things online and a lot of prospective customers have always asked me to send them a digital photograph of the item with a ruler/measuring device side by side, or asked me for the measurements themselves. If the item is very long or wide, even if you use a normal measuring tape, the numbers don’t show on the photographs where the smaller measuring tape has been used and are illegible, defeating the purpose of using the measuring tape to show the length of the item/items. ⁃ With this retractable ruler, the numbers show up clearly and since I take the photos in a room with light, there is no reflection on the photographs. ⁃ When using the ruler, when pulled gently, the ruler opens up and there are clicks on the ruler to get it to stay at the last position/length you have pulled/placed it in. ⁃ Retracting the ruler after use is easy; there is a button on one of the sides which when pressed, retracts the ruler back to its ‘original/initial’ position, zero measurements. It’s spring-loaded, so do it slowly. ⁃ I compared it to a ‘regular’ Sure Bilt 25 ft measuring tape and the measurements are similar which is a good sign as the Sure Bilt is an accurate measuring tape. ⁃ It has a belt loop looking holder at the beginning which allows you to hang the ruler vertically on a nail/screw/bolt or lay it out horizontally while clasped onto a nail/screw/bolt. ⁃ Since this is my go-to measuring tape from now on for online sales’ photographs, I’ll be using it a lot. I will update this review in case the ruler stops working for no reason/prematurely.

The tape is adequately readable and durable. It's rather heavy and bulky though, at least for in a backpack situation. I purchased this tape for my surf fishing backpack. It feels well made and is retractable, which is cool and all, but it's bulk is kind of hard to find a place to put it. And it feels heavy. The triangular shape makes it take up a lot of space in the top of my backpack, that I would rather use for a jacket. I think if they made this a manual wind instead of the spring loaded frame, that might help a lot, or just make a roll up surf tape.. that would be awesome. It would be great for the bass boat, but I already have a measuring board on the boat.

This is a must have when hunting PB Snook and/or Redfish. I've had this a few months now and have measured plenty of saltwater fish... still holding up and working as it did day one. I do take care of all saltwater exposed items that I own. You have to flush with freshwater after every use and I typically do after every trip even if it wasn't used. Have to do all you can to keep the saltwater out, even salt air!!

Always wanted a nice, easy to use, tape for measuring fish in the boat and this thing fills the bill. Big Numbers, stays flat on my boat, and rolls up nicely and stows in the glove box. I've had a few other models, but this is definitely my favorite, I'd highly reccomend!

So nice to have a decent size tape like this for getting length and girth on your catches. Rolls up small and fits anywhere, feels solid, and the one handed retractable feature is definitely handy.

Solo le falta traer centímetros

Great product for ice fishing

Does the job, easy to retract and compact

Muy practico !!

The tape itself is a thick rubber which is very nice no complaints at all.
