It's been an issue my entire life and it was so bad that about 20 years ago I failed that part of a physical for a job and the doctor kind of glazed over it since I wasn't driving a truck or anything. So I'll see how banding bags goes... :D
6"x12" I plan on trying to tape up the corners a bit so the bags are rounded on the bottom.
That makes a lot of sense, Willie, thank you!
Jacob you need to take up shooting recurve to build some hand strength :evilgrin: sorry couldn't resist. If you really have issues like that then by all means consider all options and use what works best for you.
If you are bagging individually I would suggest smaller bags. I usually bag everything individually and go for a bag thats about an inch bigger than the fish length.
If your bags are too big you will be paying alot for too much water.

I don't mean to make it sound like I cannot function normally, I'm fine. Well, "fine".
I simply can't find smaller 4 mil bags. AquaBid doesn't have any. I think I checked Ken's and didn't see any there. I'd like to send them 1 or maybe 2 in a bag "just in case". Even just transporting these from the LFS I have an adult that's permanently disfigured because he took a spine from another one. He seems fine otherwise.

2ml +2ml =4 ml.
It maybe over kill for your sterbai but when I have shipped big fish I make a sleeve of 6 ml plastic.. or newspaper.
Fish+ bag +sleeve+bag. Then that bag goes into a 3rd bag that put 3 or 4 fish bags into..
Theres also nothing wrong with using mans best friend .. duct tape or even clear packing tape. Ive used all at one time or another.
