I use the promar ones and let go any that are too close. Figure its not worth risking a ticket, rather toss a few back than get a fine and risk maby even getting my gear taken...

HuntersPa gave me a great tip the other day... And that is to file out a little extra bit of the gauge, that way you know it's legal for sure.

Yep, but a lot of the time the warden will ask for your gauge to measure, so keep that in mind |

If you've never seen a DFG warden measure a lobsters carapace you're in for a big surprise. The first time I saw a warden measure one of my lobsters I couldn't believe how many times he tried to make his gauge fit over the lobsters carapace, its almost as if he was trying to stretch the aluminum gauge. Needless to say, his efforts failed so he moved on to another boater. Had I not shaved my gauge an extra 1/8 of an inch I can guarantee you that the warden would have been able to get his gauge over the carapace. Save yourself the headache, shave your gauge and only keep those that you know are keepers.
