What brand of culling clips work best (doesn't come off of fish) that doesn't injure fish lower jaw have you found that is reliable? I prefer not to use the type that you have to punch a hole through the skin of the lower jaw. Some of the conservation type clips work loose in the livewell. Thx

The type that punch a hole doesn't have to be used that way. I use that kind and just slide the clip under the corner of the gill opening and it's big enough to close around the lip. No holes, no problem.

Well, kiss my grits.....of course! Thx guys.

I used a conservation culling clip at Tabke Rock this year. It cost me $30,000. Lol. When grabbing my catch from the live well, I've always grabbed me by the clip. As usual, I grabbed a 4 pounder by the clip and the clip broke right as I lifted it from the live well. It flopped right off the back of the boat and back into the water. That was day one. On day three I fought my way back and finished in 4th. I was out of first, and a new Nitro Z18, by less than 3 pounds. Losing that fish via a broken cull clip sucked. Now, I punch the hole. I figure two holes in a bass is ok for me.

Any culling "clip" I have seen would be better suited for crappie, but not anything over a pound

I have always slipped the metal wire through the bottom of the gill plate opening back through the mouth to keep from poking a new hole. I've noticed lots of irritation to the areas the metal wire contacts. No idea which is more harmful, or if it even makes a difference. Just reporting what I have seen.

What is culling??

I use these bags:

They work very well and really help keep the fish calm. I have not lost a fish yet even in the heat of the summer.

My partner Chris owns ProCull products and he has a conservation line of cull rings that are great. Here's a link

Quality rings as SoCal states
Might have to start at the home page.

Seen Carl Jocumsen using them on bassmaster LIVE at guntersville this year, plastic clamp with a nylon rope tether attached in different colors. Berkley used to make smaller version they sold with a culling scale but I've never found the bigger ones I've seen BASS and FLW guys use, have no idea where they get them, anyone have a lead?
