    I have decided it is time for me to add a measuring system to my ice gear. I would prefer a trough type system around 15-18 inches. What brand would you guys recommend?

    Easy to make out of vinyl raingutter. Cut a piece of pine to fit one end, fasten with 3/4″ sheet rock screws and lay an adhesive ruler on the bottom… done and accurate! Basically the same as the DNR uses. If it breaks make another one. But I’ve used the same in the boat and on the ice for 6 years now.

    I also used vinyl rain gutter. I wanted mine to be compact so I used some vinyl bolts and wing nuts with a slot to shorten or lengthen.

    I use the gutter as well but instead of an adhesive tape I bought a Judge measuring board and used stainless bolts and just bolted it in to the vinyl gutter. Works awesome.

    I use a Rapala 24″ fish ruler it has a fold down bump board and it’s only $5.99 on Rapala’s web site.
