Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Predator anglers tracking length PBs. The scale and headboard give you a straightforward way to compare fish lengths across sessions.
- Mobile lure anglers who measure regularly. The measuring surface rolls up for storage rather than needing to travel as a full-length rigid board.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers shopping for their main unhooking mat. This is a measuring accessory, not a replacement for suitable cushioning and fish protection.
- Anglers who only want a quick release. If length doesn’t interest you, it adds kit and another handling step without much benefit.

Quick verdict
A useful extra for length-minded lure anglers
The Fox Rage Fish Measure keeps things simple: roll it out, use the headboard as your starting point and check the fish’s length. Three sizes make it easy to choose something sensible for perch, zander or pike.
It’s a tidy addition if you regularly measure predators. Just keep suitable fish protection underneath, have everything ready before lifting the fish and don’t buy a shorter version merely to save a little space.

The PVC measuring surface and acrylic headboard make a sensible material pairing for this straightforward job.
A defined starting point and three measuring ranges give it a clear, practical role for predator anglers.
It helps measure a fish after landing but doesn’t improve bite generation or hooking.
The roll-out layout is straightforward, provided you prepare a safe measuring area first.
Its usefulness is strongest for regular measuring rather than occasional curiosity, with value dependent on the asking price.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Fish Measure
A good perch has a funny way of growing in the telling, doesn’t it? One minute it’s a cracking fish in the net; by the next brew it’s practically a canal record. The Fox Rage Fish Measure gives you something firmer than a hopeful guess. It’s a PVC measuring mat with a red acrylic headboard, made for checking predator lengths before they go back. Nothing complicated, and that’s the appeal. If you keep a note of your length PBs, this is the sort of accessory that has a clear job.
There are three versions, and the choice is nicely straightforward. Small measures fish up to 60 cm and is aimed at perch. Medium goes up to 110 cm and is intended for zander. Large reaches 140 cm and is the pike option. Those are measuring limits, not a promise about the fish you’ll find in the margins, sadly. Pick around what you actually target, but leave yourself room for the bigger fish you could reasonably encounter. A measure that stops before the tail isn’t much use for settling a PB.
That matters most when your fishing crosses over between species. If you spend your sessions flicking small lures for perch, the Small has an obvious place in the kit. If your usual stretches also hold pike and you want to measure those, think beyond the perch label before buying. Equally, there’s no need to carry the longest version just because it exists. Match the choice to your fishing rather than automatically going biggest. The right size is the one that covers your intended catches without adding unnecessary kit.
The red acrylic headboard is more than a splash of Fox Rage branding. It gives the fish’s head a defined starting point, which helps you take a consistent reading from the scale. That’s useful when you’re comparing fish across several sessions rather than just saying, ‘That one looked longer.’ Set the measure out flat on a suitable protected surface and bring the fish gently into position. There’s no reason to press its head hard against the board or stretch it to chase an extra centimetre. Let the actual length do the talking.
Storage is the other big part of the idea. The PVC measuring surface rolls up, so you’re not transporting a full-length rigid measuring board between swims. For a roving lure angler already carrying a net, unhooking tools and a few boxes, that makes sense. The headboard is still rigid, though, so don’t picture the whole thing scrunching into any spare corner. Give it a sensible place in your bag, ideally where you can reach it without emptying your tackle onto a muddy towpath while a fish waits in the net.
The important distinction is that a measuring mat and a protective unhooking mat aren’t automatically the same thing. This is a length-checking accessory, and the PVC surface shouldn’t be treated as cushioning against stones, hard ground or rough banks. Use suitable protection underneath and wet the surface with fishery water before placing a fish on it. In sunny weather, check it hasn’t become hot while sitting out. None of that is glamorous tackle chat, mate, but it matters far more than getting a particularly tidy photo of the numbers.
A little preparation makes the whole routine less of a faff. Have your unhooking tools, protected measuring area and camera ready before you lift the fish out. Support it properly, keep the length check brief and don’t chase repeated photos when one quick look will do. If a fish is lively or conditions make measuring awkward, skip the number rather than turning it into a wrestling match. The measure should fit around good handling, not dictate it. Getting a stunner back in good nick beats having a perfectly framed tail-tip shot.
So, who gets the most from it? Anglers who genuinely care about length: perch specialists logging progress, zander anglers comparing catches and pike anglers wanting a clear measurement. It won’t improve your lure presentation, find feeding fish or turn a blank around. Its value comes after the bite, when you want a straightforward answer to ‘How long was it?’ If that question crops up regularly in your fishing, the Fox Rage makes sense. If you’re happy admiring the fish and slipping it straight back, it’s an optional extra rather than essential kit.

Our take
Think measuring tool, not unhooking mat
The useful bit is the combination of a roll-up scale and a solid reference point for the fish’s head. That makes more sense for repeatable length checks than trying to juggle a loose tape beside a lively predator.
The PVC surface isn’t a substitute for cushioning. Build the measure into your existing landing and unhooking routine rather than treating it as your whole fish-care setup.
Design and sizes
Closer look: a flexible measure with a fixed starting point
You’re buying a Fox Rage-branded PVC measuring surface paired with a red acrylic headboard. The surface rolls up for storage; the board gives you a defined point to measure from. It’s a simple arrangement aimed at making length checks more straightforward than juggling a loose tape.
The Small is NTL048 and measures to 60 cm, the Medium is NTL049 and measures to 110 cm, and the Large is NTL050 and measures to 140 cm. Fox Rage pitches those at perch, zander and pike respectively. Use those species labels as a buying guide, but let the length you need make the final decision.
Worth knowing. Roll-up storage doesn’t mean the headboard folds away too. Allow space for the rigid acrylic part, and keep suitable fish protection in your kit alongside the measure.
On the bank
Who it suits: anglers who want a number, not a guess
If your phone is full of perch photos and you keep a running list of length PBs, the purpose is obvious. Use the same gentle positioning routine each time and your comparisons become more meaningful. You’re buying consistency and convenience, not a shortcut to catching bigger fish.
Roving predator anglers get a useful storage compromise because the measuring surface rolls away. Mixed-species anglers should be particularly careful about size choice: a perch-focused purchase can become limiting if you also want lengths for pike.
For a carp angler mainly interested in weight, or anyone who rarely measures a catch, it’s a lower-priority purchase. Sort your landing net, suitable mat and unhooking tools first. This earns its place when you’ll actually use it, not just because it matches the rest of your gear.
Quick answers
FAQs in full: choosing, using and packing it
Which size should you choose? Small covers up to 60 cm, Medium up to 110 cm and Large up to 140 cm. Think about the biggest fish you intend to measure, not just the average catch. There’s no useful way to extend a reading beyond the end of the scale.
Can it double as your unhooking mat? Don’t use it as a substitute for suitable padding. Put appropriate protection underneath, wet the measuring surface and have your kit ready beforehand. If the fish won’t settle safely, abandon the measurement rather than prolonging handling.
How does it pack away? The PVC surface rolls up, while the acrylic headboard stays rigid. Clean it after use and let it dry before storing it away; follow fishery rules on cleaning kit between waters. Keeping it accessible also saves rummaging about at exactly the wrong moment.
