AccuCull is a Fish Culling System That Helps Tournament Anglers
Brent Shores is a successful tournament fisherman and star of the “Get the Net” fishing show. He created the AccuCull, a new paradigm in fishing tournament culling systems. AccuCull is a fish culling system that helps tournament anglers manage their live wells and cull their fish faster and more accurately than any tournament culling system.
Project
TechHelp, a member of the MEP National Network™, improved initial design through simple 3D computer models. The design was further refined using SLA prototypes. Once the design was perfected, TechHelp produced engineering drawings for production and helped Brent line up production resources in the U.S.
AccuCull is made in the U.S. of 100% ABS plastic.
