what is the best cull tags today
There are really limited choices. I know the Rapala set has horrible reviews. I don't like the big balls with the accu cull. I had to just buy a set and it is a set from tackle warehouse.

These are the ones i like, thier cull beam is nice too, it floats and can keep the floats attached to it in the livewell. I like to keep my smallest attched to the beam and just pull the whole setup out when its time to balance a couple. Just be sure to not clip their tounge, i put em in the thinnest part of the lip just behind the lower jawbone, usually no problem pulling them out to weigh or bag up. I dont clip bigger fish that i dont think will cull out so notsure how much they will hold.
Dobyns just came out with a set that look pretty good. I use the Cal Costa 2.0 and have no complaints really.
If you don't catch a limit, you have no need for cull tags. That's how I roll.
I use Accu Cull Elite E-Con tags. No complaints.

Watch live coverage of any event and see if you can find one where at least one guy doesn’t mention that his tags came off a fish
I've tried a few and by far my favorite has been the MGM cull tags.

The horrible horrible puncture tags are still the best.
Just went down this rabbit hole last week to replace my puncture tags. I am giving the DD26 set a try but I’ve heard cal-coast are very good as well.

I tried the Rapala, and broke a clip first time I used it. I just bought the DD26 at the classic. My buddy uses them and I have liked them when we use his boat. I was interested in the Bubba, but went ahead and got the DD26.

Been using the Cal Coast 2.0's for several years with zero issues
Never used any. Bigger fish on one side and fish I’m going to cull on other side of live well. I use a live well net to get them out of well
I use the old style floating ropes and replaced the metal clips with Ardent clips been using this set up for about 5 years no problem....

Cal Coast 2.0's but really don't like the clips so just picked up the Dobyns set to try - the clips work much better so far, will have to see how they hold up over a day in the mouth though...
