Golden Rule Bump Boards

[Jay-MadWags]

Does anyone know where I can pick up a Golden Rule Bum Board like the one that is used in the MadWags St. Clair opener every year?  I will probably be fishing that tournament for the rest of my life for as long as I live in the state of Michigan.  For those of you who don't know me, I am Dave "MadWags" Wagensomer's nephew.  I never really thought of him as my uncle though.  He was my best friend and tournament partner.  He has taught me a lot about fishing and life in general.  He has been gone for three years now and not a day goes by that I don't think about him.  So the MadWags Open (especially on St. Clair) means a lot to me.  I need to purchase one of the bump boards with the measurement and weight ratios.  Any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks,
Jay

I believe I ordered mine from Bass Pro Shops.

Get on BPS or Amazon. I picked one up on Amazon for merely nothing.

All the boards on amazon and BPS have inch or quarter inch measurements, but none have the approximate weight.   I remember the boards Dan had us use at the last couple of MadWags opens and the boards he has have weight estimations on them. I can't find a board with that ANYWHERE.

I have been unable to find one that has the weights on it either.  Searched all over Amazon the other night.  Finding the simple rulers is easy, but finding one with the fish weights on it seems to be getting very hard.

Perhaps someone could take the time to post the weights per 1/8th inch like the bump board says?  Then we could all print it off and have it handy.  A lot of work I know... but someone needs to do it!!

Thank you all.

When I got mine a couple of years ago the only place to acquire it was right from Gator Grip.  There are no stores that carry it to my knowledge.

Jay........I may have 2...I will check when I get home if I do you can have one....

I also have a rod that I got from your uncle if you would like to have it......

I'm going as a non boater, but will bring my board with me. If my boater has one, I will let someone borrow mine.

A bump board would be great if u have an extra.  Thank you for offering me one of Dave's rods.  I'm sure if he gave it to you then he ment for you to have it.  Let me know about that bump board soon so if I do have to order one it will get here on time.

Jay, I have an extra board...you can have it.......I can't fish on Saturday because I have to work but my job is only about 15mins from the launch so I can run it over there in the morning before you guys launch...If memory serves me right don't you live on the west side??(No sense of paying shipping)

It's the Gator Grip GG-50 Golden Rule Weighmaster Largemouth Bass ruler. There's another model listed GG-51 that is a couple dollars cheaper. I don't know what the difference is though. I've always got the GG-50. I think I've loaned all mine out and I don't think I have any of them anymore.

There's only one on ebay at the moment and it is priced higher than getting it direct from Gator Grip. I can't find an obvious, good replacement but if we run short we can do a conversion from the next lowest measurement increment the tail goes over to the closest weight on a Weighmaster board.

Since I don't know what happened to mine if someone can take a picture of one on their phone and email it to me I can create a conversion table to send to everyone. Thanks!

Thank you, I can't wait to go out fishing for a full day.  I will be there around 7am.  I have a white skeeter with dual blue power poles and a blue trailer.

Is it safe to show up as a non-boater without a bump board?
