Title: The "Original" Smitty Sled
Post by: smitty0312 on Sep 22, 2015, 10:36 AM
The "Original" Smitty Sled Plans Are Now Available! New this year are "Smitty Sled" Kits! This is the famous ice fishing sled that everyone is raving about all over the internet on ice fishing sites like iceshanty.com, this sled makes pulling your ice fishing gear a dream, one of the cool features of this that it also breaks down so you can get it in your car if needed, no truck needed to haul this around, made from simple 2x4 stock, I am also offering plans to build one of these simple sleds, you can find a used pair of skis in almost any thrift store for cheap, you will get detailed measurements of each component, materials list,  also included is a step by step guide to build it, you need minimal tools and woodworking skills to make this. If you don't want to build it yourself or don't have the skill or tools to do it, we have taken all the work out of it for you with the new "Smitty Sled" Kit. Every piece will be cut to the exact measurements for you, click the link below to purchase one. Plans or the kits will be mailed to you as soon as I receive payment. Thank You.

I just got a older pair of cross country skies given to me. I was wondering if they would work. They seem a little more norrow.

How long should the skis be for your sled?
Title: Re: The "Original" Smitty Sled
Post by: smitty0312 on Oct 07, 2017, 08:14 AM
I would keep them at full length if you can......I cut 6" off mine or so however to make it fit in my car back in 2009

Thanks for the reply. Did not get the pair that were in a auction I worked over the weekend, ( went for $20), but they were only 5 1/2 feet long. Wondering if longer ones would be more stable and be better because of more surface area on the snow?

I have two smitty sleds. One has downhill skis the other are cross-country. The downhill are wider. Use them, they are stronger.
