Ardent Smart Cull System
EnlargeIf you have ever fished a tournament and had to cull a fish, read the following very carefully: The new Smart Cull system from Ardent redefines culling systems. Seriously. No more writing down the weights of fish, no more coordinating colors of floats with digital weight records.
The Smart Cull provides anglers six balls, each a different color, with clips that are more dependable than standard clothes-pin style clips. But the real advantage of this system is in the lockable dials that allow you to record exact weights of the fish you catch (up to 15 pounds, 15 ounces). Simply push a button in the middle of the culling ball, twist the dials to the pounds and ounces of the fish, and release the button. This locks in the weight.
How important is knowing the exact weight of every fish in the box? I asked Elite Series pro Pete Ponds who helped design the system.
"Well, I earned a tournament check last month by 1 ounce," he replied. "Had I not known the exact weight of those fish, I could have thrown $10,000 back in the lake."
