    I like the measure net. When I take my nephews out we have contests the biggest fish is one on them. Easy to measure and the fish doesn't have to leave the water.

    some people use citrus strip. I used the edge of exacto knife. You draw the knife at less than a 90 degree angle just try not to gouge the bamboo. It didn't take me long to do scrape mine.

    What do you end up doing? I use BSS 1 and LA1 on most of my small wt rods and don't have a problem. I thought Orvis used the Bellinger seats on the current superfine trout bum(3wt).
