This is what I use, set my portable on top and my minnow bucket on the back. Pulls like the cats meow.
Anyone put skis on your fish trap pro? I have some old skis and was thinking aboutit if so can you post a pic thanks Rick
icenewbie, I'm telling you I have a sled that I built myself out of wood. I figured years ago that I needed one...so....I built it. Well that sled now sits in my cellar and houses all my tip ups from one season to the next. It has all my tip ups a few pots, pans, utensils, a lantern...etc., but it never comes out on the ice anymore. You know why? Because they built the Jet Sled! That sled slides beautifully, its low to the ground so it doesn't tip over... and I can put everything I need for a day in it. You can drill holes in the sides and use bungy cords to keep everything contained. You can buy a cover that goes over the top of everything if the weather turns foul. Take my word for it....in the amount of time it will take you to build a wooden sled, the wood, screws ...etc. Just go out and buy yourself the medium size Jet sled....you won't regret it.
What is a Jet Sled? Got pictures?
Nice Duramaxman. I was thinking of building something very similar to that but ran out of time before the ice hit. I will do it this summer. How does the PVC pipe work for you? Is it sturdy? Looks a lot lighter than wood
In cold weather.. (neg temps) how well will the PVC hold up. I dont' know that I've had much experience with that. PVC looks nice for the frame, but I still might try and find an old pair of skis for the bases. they should hold up to more abuse when dragging across rough ice.
I got an old pair of skis I bought just for that purpose. Metal conduit might be a better option for our MT winters. Anyone know of a good way to bend that stuff???
Ummm... how about a conduit bender ?
