? about Hawg Trough

Hey all I just bought a Hawg Trough but I noticed it only goes up to 30 inches do they sell and extenion peice that attaches to measure bigger fish ? looked on the web site Hook 1 but could not find one ? I guess I could allways make my own ! any help would be great.

People have done all kinds of things.  Probably the most durable and simplest solution is to goop a yardstick to it, (ala Otobepelagic).

Matt,

Hahahaha! Durable and simple...that's me. Thanks Eric.

The yard stick adds floatation too..........

Thanks Jim ! all of them good idea's not sure which one I will go with !

Matt, you need the AOTY approved ,all time fail proof Hawg trough extender by Saltydog. Complete with SS bolt and SS nylock nut.

I've often thought of making my own ghetto non-approved Hawg Trough out of a raingutter.   

Fuzz, I roll with the ghetto gutter trough, just trimmed the height down a bit, slapped on a $3 sticker and it's good to go.  Not as pretty, but it gets the job done.

Used a piece of political sign like foam plastic 

Needs to be trimmed a little too long 66" but perfect for sturg.

These work well and each participant at GS has gotten one for the past two years.  This year's will be an exciting new shade!   

They last for months and are cheap.  When they're fresh, the rigidity of the lamination follows the cupping of the Hawg Trough and actually helps to cradle a fish in the extension - It's a beautiful thing - especially for less than $.20/each...  or was it $.50/each?...  I'll have to check that out, but either way it's worth it for simplicity.  I like the trough interest.    

This is the Jimmy Jackson HT extender. Kitty not included.
