Quick take
A thick plastic gauge with pre-cut size slots for measuring crabs, lobsters and peeler crabs to meet East Coast legal limits.
This turquoise plastic gauge from LEE FISHER SPORTS is a pocket-size tool for checking crab and lobster against legal size limits along the East Coast, Gulf of Mexico and Canada. It has pre-cut notches from 4.5 to 6.5 inches, an 8-inch ruler along the top, and separate Florida stone crab and spiny lobster cutouts at 2-7/8 and 3 inches. Crabbers working blue crab, stone crab or peeler crab can measure a catch on the spot and hang the gauge on a hook or lanyard between trips.
Best for
- Recreational crabbing and lobstering to ensure legal catch
- Determining which crabs are soft-shell crabs
- Any angler unfamiliar with local size regulations
Skip if
- You fish only fish species
- Your state uses different size limits than East Coast standards
Strengths
- Pre-cut slots remove guesswork on legal sizes
- Includes stone crab and spiny lobster for Florida waters
- Durable plastic survives seasons of use in harsh marine conditions
Trade-offs
- Gauge applies only to East Coast and Gulf species; useless elsewhere
- Peeler crab slot is specific and may not work for all regions
- Requires a laminated reference card to know which slot matches each regulation
Fishing fit
- Species
- Crab & shrimp
- Water
