What is the best brand of cull tags ?
I have not found any that last.

None of the comservation tags last. The plastic breaks. I use the old type piercing clip style, but that’s a personal choice. The plastic ones cost me a first place and new boat.

We use the metal clips as well. I stuck floats on ours so we can find the fish in the livewell. Some places we fish the water looks like coffee with creamer

I have both but usually use the piercing clips most of the time.
I replace the cheap floats with old crankbaits when the float wears out.

the newer ones do break, I have a set of these that are 15 years old but rapala branded and still work fine, think they quit making them long long ago https://www.ebay.com/itm/224715914446

I have used probably 10 versions in the last 10 years and the ones Gary came out with last year are the best I have used. I have never had a fish shake one off. Granted, I suck at fishing so I don't tend to put many in the livewell, but the ones I did stayed connected.

Dobyns (or whatever it is called now that it has been bought out by big corpo) have the best non puncture tags made

my ardent balls broke... no more blue balls. Best I have heard is the Dobyns cull tags are the best by far. No lost fish to chase around the livewell, no breaking balls. About to buy a set myself.

I like the Cal Coast non puncture tags. Only place I have had a fish get off is at fork. It was an under dink that you would never have to deal with at a regular lake. Had them for over 4 years now. Haven't had one break yet. That seems like a pretty good lifespan to me. I never expected them to last forever.

Been using the Bubba Culling System for tge past year and it's held up great. Have not had a clip come off yet. Easy to use with one hand as well. Comes with a mesh storage bag and a nice culling beam too.

I bought mine when I bought my Bubba scale since it matched up with the scale.

My buddy has those and they seem pretty good. The Rapala tags SUCK!

Ardent Smart Cull. I just bought a 6 pack of clips and put them on the tags I already had. Easy to use and haven't broke one yet. Maybe I haven't fished enough lately!

I’ve been using CAL coast tags for several years with no issues.

I have only had a couple unders on Ivie and Henry come off, but don’t think I’ve ever had a 14” fish come off in the livewell.
