Be weary of the ez checker it has caused many tickets in this area! Some fish get awefully broad here and will not let them slide all the way in.....

I have owned both, but use the Hawg Trough exclusively these days. My Golden Rule went swimming in Jordan Lake thanks to a scrappy 24 inch hybrid bass.
Like Alphahawk mentioned, you can take 1/2 inch round foam (available at any home center/hardware store) and glue it in the channels under the trough with weatherstripping glue or rubber cement. Then, it can swim all it wants, but won't sink.
I have recolored the lines on mine with a sharpie 3 times in 4 years. It is definitely worth the effort.

Hawg Trough for me, even with having to use a sharpie to color the lines.
Take a peice of 3 m tape and attach it on the golden rule. Anything past the tape.
Take a file or grinder with a thin blade and grind/scratch a notch at the Target length.
Or like ol handy taught me, cut the center and the nose section out of the frabil , 3m tape that golden rule in the middle with the notch or tape showing and fish are easier to control and measure at the same time....
