With the Frabil EZChek'r, two things:
Make sure the 10" mark is 10". I have one that I measured and it came up short. I added some white duck tape 1/4" down the ruler, so I know any fish I check is long enough. That dark tail stands out against the white tape, so its quick and easy.
Some crappie shorter than 10" are too wide to allow the nose touch the stop (black crappie more than white). Make sure the nose is touching for an accurate measurement.

Have had one of these "Fish Taco"'s for a long time. I don't use anything else or those cheapo plastic deals that fish flop out of easily. Fish Taco Just me, but won't go back to anything else. If I need another, I'll order one from Scott. The back edge is 10" (he also has one for bass at 14"). You can squeeze it and hold the fish easily (the nose end for the fish's head has a lil flap to hold the fish in). My.02 for what it's worth...

I found the board , careful what you wish for they are pricey. I may have some made with my company name , write it off as advertising.  Fischit.com Mo Why I recommended the Fish Taco (think I paid around $10, though think Scott gives them for free with a guided trip). $30.00 or more to measure fish? No thanks, though if you're a guide I could see that if they are wanting something to advertise their guide business on.

I use a piece of tape measured to 11" on my crappie sticks
From the foam or cork of the top section of the handle
I can measure even before unhooking
Yes 11 inches is my minimum I have had the same setup for years on a few of my poles. Mainly for fishing sandies while wading out from shore. For awhile, back in the 90's, Stren fishing line came with an adhesive ruler just for that purpose. You can also take a sharpie and mark your pole at 10,12, and 18 which covers most anything I'll be fishing for.
Fishin' to stock Lake Crisco.
