Fish Extenders?

[kat123]

I love all of these beautiful extenders.....I am definately going to have to get creative before our trip.

Any concerns or experiences with them being taken? Thinking the personalization definately prevents walking away - but wasnt sure.

Unfortunately that has happened. I think I even saw one post where a personalized one went missing.


Some folks have suggested taking along zip ties to attach your extender to your fish. Just be sure to pack a pair of scissors so you can cut the ties at the end of your cruise if you go with that option.

Here is the product of my hardwork and my families feelings of desertion...

There are so many of us it doesn't fit in the picture. I just know people are going to be getting tangled up in it when they pass by!

Make sure you bring the zip ties, I think that is what prevented someone from stealing ours on the 15 day EB Panama. They cut through the double rope tie that I used to hang over the fish. Luckily they were not able to get it off of the fish. So I need to come up with a new rope holder.

What are the typical measurements for FE? I guess I am looking more for width as the length I assume depends on the number of pockets...

The original fish extenders (see the picture in post #2 on this thread) are 7.75 inches wide, about 25.5 inches long and the dowel is exactly 8.5 inches across.

Thanks! there is so much info it is hard to sort thru...UGH!! But i think I got it. My mom is pretty crafty she should be able to make me one.

what is the longest length that will work for the FE. I need to add more pockets.

Based on our first cruise I estimate the Fish Clip is about 58-60" from the ground (it was just under eye level for me). Standard 4 pocket FE's are about 37" total if that helps.

Thankyou very much.

THANK YOU for this suggestion! I know that it saved my FE. I read your suggestion and packed our zip ties. Then on this past weekend's cruise, I happened to be walking behind the kids who were plotting to steal my FE.

They said that someone else had tried to take it but couldn't grab it fast enough.

What a great thread. I've just read back through every page of the thread! I can't believe how talented many of you are. Mine will be somewhat plain because I'm just not that talented, but I'm going to have fun trying. I've got lots of great ideas now!

Thanks to everyone who has shared!

How did you make the crew tag at the top with your name on it? I don't want it for me FE, cause someone is making that but my kids want me to make them crew name tags or magnets for our door. Thank you for your time!!

Hi

I am not sure about the celebrity part LOL!

Yes I did start the madness! I still laugh when I see threads started about them And just more amazed at how they have taken off.

Search on ebay for wall hanging I believe. The lady that had them on ebay bought them from the same discount store that I did.

Good luck!

HI EpcotKilterFan....how very cool that I live a mere stone's throw away from the Fish Extender creator. We live down the street in Hudson.
