Snail Hut
« on: Feb 22, 2021, 03:03 PM »
Another vote for Niru’s snail hut fab. From pics he posted I came up w/ this.
My old set up (third pic) worked, but the old Cabela’s hut was too heavy, too cumbersome. Using the same home made sled I adapted the snail folding idea. Now no weight to speak of, flip up or down, can pull or push to find the fish w/o breakdown. Tee shirt for sure if sunny. Can stand up to stretch, plenty room for gear. Happy Camper!

   Looks very much like the old kabbanettes  What mil plastic did you use?

3.5 mil. See additional posts under pictures-home built.  I see no reason you couldn't use black instead of clear. Sight fishing is quite entertaining.
Yes, i found that w a search. Wonder if the Japanese adopted it or viceversa.

   Yep that's it.  Still them out on the ice once in awhile  Found mine for 2 bucks somewhere  A tent fly makes a nice top if the plastic rips. Nice build like the base for it.
