Quick take

Aluminum gauge with notches for the three legal crab sizes in CA, WA and OR.

A slim silver aluminum crab gauge with notches at 5-3/4, 6 and 6-1/4 inches, made for checking shell width on the West Coast. It weighs about 0.06 kilograms and measures roughly 7.5 by 4.7 inches, so it slips easily into a crabbing bucket or pocket. A hole at one end takes a lanyard, keeping it close at hand on the pier or boat.
