Checking legal Minimum Conservation Reference Sizes (MCRS) at sea, on moving decks, or along wet coastal rocks requires a fast, reliable tool. Metal gauges easily corrode, scratch equipment, or add unnecessary weight to gear bags, while cheap molded plastics crack underfoot or warp in direct sunlight.
Designed and manufactured in the UK by an engineer with over 30 years of precision CAD and tooling experience, this dual 160mm and 90mm marine measuring gauge is engineered for rapid size verification. Featuring precision openings for 160mm crab (Male Edible/Brown Crab MCRS) and 90mm lobster (European/Common Lobster) legal limits, this tool gives recreational and commercial fishers an instant compliance check right at the water's edge.
Dual 160mm & 90mm Precision Openings: Features a 160mm slot for male brown crab width checks and a 90mm slot for European lobster carapace checks—providing two essential compliance checks on a single compact tool.
100% Weatherproof Marine PETG: 3D-printed using high-density, marine-grade PETG polymer. It will not absorb saltwater, degrade under direct UV light, or snap when dropped on wet rocks or steel boat decks.
High-Visibility Contrast Markings: Printed in high-visibility yellow with bold red digits, making size dimensions clear and readable in direct sunlight, low light, or through heavy sea spray.
Lightweight & Field-Ready: Engineered for minimal bulk in tackle boxes, fishing vests, dive belts, or catch bags while maintaining rigid structural integrity across both measuring slots.
Fully Custom Sizes & Combinations: Need specific regional slot sizes (e.g., 140mm, 150mm, or custom Scallop, Ormer, and Abalone dimensions)? Gauges can be custom-modeled and printed to your exact millimeter specifications.
