    I just took a piece of aluminum and bent one end much like the golden rule. Then cut it to exactly 10" and nailed one up front on my boat and one in the back of the boat. If the tail is longer than the end he's in the old live well.
    Be safe and good luck fishing

    I've heard of guys using a cheap galvanized framing square from harbor freight the same way. Bend it then cut it or else drill a hole at the 9" & 12"(Mississippi)mark.

    I have both the golden rule and ez checker . Problem with the ez checker is that a thick fish will sometimes not get all the way down to touch with it's mouth shut . Back when 10 inches was the deal it was fine . They are still OK but you must visual make sure they get all in ,so to speak . I still use mine on the waterway. Golden rule is more reliable when action is hot . Take a hacksaw and put you own 9 " line on the golden rule .

    I would take a rubber strap like the kind that hold down rods and install it. Then strap down the checker when running.

    Thanks guys for clearing up that when I go to Mississippi not to use the ez checker. But when I am at green river lake I like my ez checker. Looks like that would be a great idea to invent.

    Never thought of that but it makes sense
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
