I need a tow bar for my portable. I’m thinking of making one because I’m running out of time before the GTG to order one. Does anyone have a idea for one or a pic of homemade one? I have a Fish Trap Pro but I’d like it to be something I could use on my cousins Frabill XL Twin too.

I just went to Menards and bought some stuff to make one. Thanks!

I wanted to keep the bracket light for times when I pull by hand. I’ll post a review after a season of use. We’ll see if the aluminum will hold up after I make a few long distance runs.

January 14, 2007 at 6:35 am #522547Mine is similar to that one only I used two separate brackets and steel. I also drilled out the holes on the hitch and added beefier pins.
Aluminum would have been nice I agree.
January 16, 2007 at 9:16 pm #523620I made the same thing for a buddy using 10 gauge stainless steel.
1/4 inch aluminum will work well.
Nice welds by the way.
Are you looking for a job? I could use a good welder.
