I have tried two other non piercing cull systems and found both to be poorly designed and manufactured. I knew the problems with the others so when I read the specs on the Cal Coast 2.0 it was obvious that they had solved all the competitors weaknesses. I like the fact that a balance beam is not included. Too much fish handling and too time consuming with a balance beam. I use a Rapala digital scale in conjunction with the Cal Coast tags and only handle each fish once. I finally have the perfect culling system.

I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I had a fish come off in the live well. Has only happened once but that did take up time trying to get it out to cull during a tournament. Now, I am not saying I may have not closed the clip tight enough so it may be my fault. Other than that I love them. Paired with the cal-coast balance beam it makes quick work of culling during a tournament! Would definitely recomend to others!! Great product!!

I have both V.1 and V.2. V.1 came with a neoprene mesh bag to store them. V.2 came with a rail for you to install on your boat to clip the cull tags. V.1 definitely is stronger than V.2 due to having thicker clips. But if you know that a fish needs to close their mouth for max water expulsion out the gills for oxygen, the V.2 is better in this situation as the fish can close their mouth more. I have not picked up a 5lb+ with a V.2 but I have with a V.1 and the V.1 clip holds tighter. Physically, I can blend the clip on the V.2 because of the thinner clips but cannot on the V.1 because of the thicker clips. Both still function the same.

Had to get away from the Poke-through-jaw system after catching Gish that had been culled and seeing what it does to them. This system is very good quality and easy to use and you won’t have to worry about it coming off, I have picked up a 6lber with the float and it held no problem
