Building a Tagging Stick

In some places you can buy pre-made tagging poles. If not, the best ones are made from old broom or mop handles.

They are made of hardwood about 1.5m (approximately 4 ½ feet) long and 2.5cm (1 inch) in diameter which makes them sturdy and reliable.

 A tag applicator hole should be drilled with a 5mm drill bit till only around 6cm of the tip protrudes from the pole.

Use a good epoxy to secure the applicator pin in the pole and seal the hole to saltwater.

The applicator pin should protrude from the pole about 6cm (2.5 inches).

Once the tag has been inserted into the applicator it is advisable to put a rubber band around the ‘pole’ and the ‘tag’ to help keep it in place till the fish is tagged.  To prepare the tag stick for tagging, simply slide the nylon head of the tag over the pointed end of the stainless steel applicator.
