After the fisherman weighs and measures the fish he can toss the De-liar back into his tackle box and then go ahead and lie as usual. Isn't that great!

I have one of those in my tackle box. It's a fish knife in a wood case and the case has inches on it that are about the size of a centimeter. Works for me. Now I working on quarters the size of dimes to use on eBay.
