Does anyone know of an affordable source for a small amount of tags and the appropriate applicator. Everything I am seeing online line is for fairly large quantities of tags and expensive applicators.

Thanks to all in advance for your suggestions,


You are talking around $100 or so for the tags and applicator.

If its just catch "X" fish and win something, then you could just trim off the adipose fin with scissors. It'll heal quickly and not grow back.
