I've been using the Cal Coast ClipNCull for over a year now. I fish tournaments 3-4 times a month. They are excellent. Only thing is be sure they are put on correctly, there is a top and bottom. If you put the bottom in the fishes mouth they will have problems passing water over their gills. The bottom is the part that has a hole to hang a weight to keep the floaters upright if you fish deep and have not fizzed them yet.

I just got the ones above. Am curious how they will work out.
IMO its really ignorant to be worried about putting a "hole" in a fish's mouth when we use hooks to get them in the boat to start with! And watching tourneys where 4lbers are just boat flipped onto the carpet and that sure can't be "good" for the fish!!

When seeing where your fish is hooked are you glad when it gets hooked in the side of the mouth and rips a big hole? Yea, probably not. Since we like to be as careful as possible with the fish there is nothing ignorant about using a well designed clipping cull system.
If you can't find em wind em.

styles similar to the ProCull conservation series work great
no hole, easy to grab
works way better than the "clip on" type

I use TH Marine G-force. Once you get the technique its not difficult at all and they stay clipped even on cull beam. Some people just like to complain. But Im a believer in clips. Ive lipped too many fish that my thumb goes completely through the bottom lip from a cull tag hole. Its much larger than hook holes. I have the original solid blue G-Force clips with numbers on the floats. Maybe they make an improved version now???? I'm sorry but the ones I have are just pure junk. Half of the 15"-16" fish you attach them to will get out of the clip. What good is a cull clip that will not stay on the smaller fish that you really need to cull?

I have the TH G-Force cull clips and they work perfectly, even on 14" fish. I've had them for two months now, the multi colored floats. And boat swinging 4lbers on to the carpet is just as harmful as putting massive holes in fish with penetrating clips. Both should not be done if we want to be conservationists and respect the sport we love.

Started using Acc-Cull plastic clips few years ago, they work well. I've also caught fish with gaping holes on the side and bottom from penetrating cull clips. https://www.accucull.com/

I stick another hole In them as well and when u catch one with a hole already in them just means no need to measure

I've been using the TH-Marine one for about 6 months and agree with what the previous poster said that once you get the system down for clipping them, they're no big deal.
Out of the package, I could see that it takes about 2 1/2 hands to operate, but what I started doing was holding the fish's lip and manually closing the clip with one hand, while cinching the holder down with the other.
My only complaint was that I ordered the ones that were numbered rather than colored from Tackle Warehouse, and the colored ones showed up. I figured that I could remember numbers a lot better than colors, so I just took a Sharpie and wrote numbers on them.

If you get the cul m rite scale, it goes by colors, so they give you the opportunity to use the colors or like you and I both did, write numbers on the floats.

My friend has the new clips and they are legit. That company puts a lot of research into their products.
