Fish Trap Runner Kits

[GatorBait]

Has anyone used the Fish Trap Runner Kits?? If so, how is the quality compared to the Hyfax runners. Their site doesn't show them very well, and there isn't any info about them, so i'm kinda at a dead stand. I currently have a 08 Fish Trap Voyager that is in need of runners. If anyone has anyother suggestions that will work well, let me know. I see the Frabill Hyfax runners look nice, but not sure if they would work or not. Thanks alot.

Here's a post from a year ago that may help you out.

DIY Runner kits

I placed the Trap runner on my Voyager and it worked out great. They installed nicely and sure saved on the tub and helped it track straight behind the 4-wheeler and snowmobile.

The web site is usplastic.com look for hyfax and they will list thesize and price.

I went to "usplastics.com", and got every product under the sun that they make. Went thru the whole list 2 times and still found no RUNNER KITS. Has anyone else had luck finding them? If so,where did you find then.. THANKS.

You won't find runner kits at U.S. Plastics, only the runner material. You'll still have to supply the screws and nuts to fasten them to your sled. On their site do a search for "UHMW rectangular bar". Then just pick the size of material you want. They come in 5' lengths. If you want everything supplied for you, then go to the otter site and order their hyfax kit.

My brother has the runner kit on his fish trap, I bought runner material from the us plastics site and made my own for my otter. Both get the job done. I think the US plastics runners are more heavy duty, and are suprisingly flexible. I didn't need to heat them to make the bends. I did have to drill my own holes and purchase stainless steel hardware. For those that just want to put on runners fast without messing around, get the kit. If you want to save a little money and like to putz around in the garage like I do, get the material and hardware and make your own---it's not tough.

I love the runner kit on my clam but to save a little cash on my QF2 I used Trex decking. The only down side is you need more tools. Trex decking was free from a buddy that is a carpenter.

Heat gun

Center drill or counter sink

Here is what mine looks like on my new tub.

All stainless hardware with nylock nuts.
